Six regions in Russia's Southern and Central Federal Districts are evaluating the potential damage to crops from new spring frosts, with one region experiencing the most unfavorable conditions. The situation has led to record high prices for potatoes, prompting comments from various stakeholders in the market. Starting May 14, Russia will continue to reduce export duties on its three main grain crops, with corn facing the largest decrease. The Food and Agriculture Service (FAS) has requested information from soybean meal producers, and an economist predicts that strawberry prices in Russia will significantly drop in May.
