The already introduced duties on the export of grain, corn and barley are just the first signs of the emergence of a permanent floating duty mechanism.

Farmers fear that the introduction of an export duty on soybeans in the amount of 30% of the customs value from February 1 will contribute not so much to lower prices as to ruin the industry.

On the eve of the introduction of duties, the volume of grain exported from Russia in January amounted (according to preliminary data of the system LogisticOS ) almost 3.7 million tons.

As a result of a number of factors, the volume of wheat exports from the Russian Federation increased to record levels (about 3 million tons per month). The logistics are failing.
