The government of the Russian Federation permanently abandoned the export duties on wheat, said Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, speaking at the II world grain forum.
"We are 99% certain that this will not return. I hope no situation of force majeure will not be", — he said.
Dvorkovich noted that the introduction of export duties was not the best solution, but in terms of the macroeconomic situation there was no other way.
The duty on wheat exports from Russia started to operate from the summer of 2015 After the introduction of a fee formula for its calculation was changed several times. It was 50% of the customs value minus 6.5 thousand rubles, but not less than 10 RUB for the Government of the Russian Federation nullified the export duty on wheat from September 23, 2016 July 1, 2018.
