The secretariat of Russian Federation Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported that the Ministry of Agriculture's proposal to extend the rice export ban was supported at a meeting of the Customs Tariff and Non-Tariff Regulation, Foreign Trade Protection Measures Subcommittee. The committee also reviewed the issue of implementing a 50,000-ton tariff quota for rice exports to regions outside the Eurasian Economic Union. The proposal suggests setting the export tariff rate at 0% within the quota and 50% outside the quota. It is understood that the relevant draft resolution will be submitted to the government for review in the near future.
