In order to ensure food security and maintain a stable situation with prices on the domestic market, the Russian government decided to introduce a temporary ban on the export of durum wheat until May 31, 2024. This decision applies to durum wheat under the EAEU HS codes 1001 11 000 0 and 1001 19 000 0 and comes into force from the moment the government decree is published.
However, this restriction will not apply in the case of export of durum wheat for the provision of international humanitarian assistance, within the framework of intergovernmental agreements, as well as supplies or for export to Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
According to the resolution, within the EAEU, the export of durum wheat is permitted subject to permits issued by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation within the established quotas. Export quotas to Belarus and Armenia are 1 thousand tons each (EAES HS code 1001 11 000 0), to Kyrgyzstan - 1 thousand tons (EAES HS code 1001 11 000 0) and 12 thousand tons (EAES HS code 1001 19,000 0), to Kazakhstan – 4 thousand tons (HS EAES 1001 11 000 0) and 30 thousand tons (HS EAES 1001 19 000 0). The government also approved the rules for issuing permits for the export of this grain to the EAEU countries.
The department explained its position by a decrease in the global durum wheat harvest and increased demand for it in the world. This season's harvest is forecast to fall to 20-year lows in most producing countries. In this regard, there has been an increased demand for durum wheat in the foreign market, the department reports.
