Belarus has announced a six-month extension of its licensing requirement for the export of various grain crops, including wheat, rye, barley, and others, to both Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states and non-member states. This measure, initially implemented in late September 2022 and continued throughout 2023, mandates exporters to obtain one-time licenses from the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade. The extension aims to ensure the domestic market's needs are fully met by regulating grain exports through licensing, thereby prohibiting unlicensed exports of these essential agricultural products.
