The Russian Ministry of Agriculture is proposing a temporary ban on the export of cane and beet sugar, as well as chemically pure sucrose in solid state. The ban, which is currently under public review, will be in effect until August 31 of this year and applies to exports from the customs territory of the Russian Federation or other Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) countries. Exceptions include sugar and sucrose supplied to EAEU countries within pre-agreed volumes, those with export permits from the Ministry, and those exported for international humanitarian assistance.
