Russian exporters will be forced to make discount on export wheat and other commodities, which are forwarded to other countries after the introduction of the Turkey restrictions on imports. This was announced by RNS the President of the Russian grain Union (RGU) Arkady Zlochevsky.

Turkey's refusal from extradition of the Russian exporters of the license for duty-free importation provoked the collapse and cessation of supplies of Russian wheat, maize and sunflower oil in the country, said Zlochevsky.

"The Turkish side has stopped issuing licenses for duty free import, is called, in fact, collapse in supply. Now we are working to redirect those ships that are on the way, which came, but was denied acceptance from contractors, because they are not willing to pay a fee of 130%. It is actually a prohibitive level,"he said.

We are now looking for markets willing to purchase additional volumes of the Russian exporters, but will have to be discounted in any way and will have lost a lot of money, said Zlochevsky.

"The need to have a sufficiently large number of countries, we are more than 100 countries supply, but will have to be discounted, additional costs for logistics, for delivery to these areas. The largest buyer of us — Egypt wheat in particular. It will be more difficult with oil — Turkey was the main consumer of our oil, there was almost half of (export. — RNS)", — he added.

Last season Russia exported to Turkey of 3 million tons of wheat in total exports to 25 million tons. By estimates of rzs, to the end of this season were about to ship to Turkey about 400-500 thousand tons of wheat."These volumes will have to divert", — concluded the President of the Russian grain Union.

Earlier, the Minister of agriculture Alexander Tkachev said that Turkey's decision to impose duty on the import of Russian wheat, maize, crude sunflower oil, sunflower meal, beans and rice may lead to a complete cessation of exports to Turkey.

The head of the Ministry noted that it will not accept attempts to put pressure on Russia to open access to the Russian market for a number of Turkish agricultural products. Tkachev said he is disappointed with the Turkish position on the export of Russian agricultural products, and expressed confidence that Russia will be able to quickly reroute production to other markets.
