| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Russian government is introducing a ban on the export of durum wheat from December 11 to May 31, 2024, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers reported. “The decision is aimed at ensuring food security and will help maintain a stable situation with prices for durum wheat products on the domestic market,” the statement says. At the same time, the press service noted that exceptions will apply for this period. Durum wheat is allowed to be exported as part of humanitarian aid. In addition, it is not prohibited to export it to Abkhazia and South Ossetia, as well as as supplies. Durum wheat is allowed to be exported to countries that are members of the Eurasian Economic Union within the limits of quotas established by the government, if they are approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. As it became known on December 2, Russia for the first time since March 2022 returned to the top five largest exporters of wheat to the EU countries. A sharp increase in supplies occurred in September 2023 by 22%. On an annual basis, the European Union began to purchase 10 times more wheat - up to 180,000 tons. The head of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, Dmitry Patrushev , reported on November 28 that the country had harvested more than 151 million tons of grain, including 99 million tons of wheat. According to him, this is the second largest grain harvest in the history of the Russian Federation. |
