ArmInfo.From June 5 to September 1, 2021, there is a ban on the export of buckwheat, buckwheat groats and grain from Russia. This, as reported by "Parlamentskaya Gazeta" (Parliamentary Gazette), is stated in the decree of the government of the Russian Federation, which comes into force on June 5.
At the same time, the document introduces buckwheat, cereals and grain into the list of goods that are essential for the domestic market of Russia. It is permissible to impose an embargo on goods from this list. The ban will not affect humanitarian aid and transit traffic. Also, buckwheat will be allowed abroad if it is exported as supplies. Our soldiers stationed in other countries, workers of the Baikonur Cosmodrome and scientists on the Spitsbergen archipelago will not be left without buckwheat porridge either.
The Ministry of Agriculture came up with an initiative to limit the export of buckwheat in April. The ministry explained that supplies to other countries rose sharply in volumes due to high prices for cereals in the world market. A temporary ban on the export of buckwheat should protect the Russian market from sharp price fluctuations and a shortage of useful porridge.
