MOLDOVA

Russia has prepared a plan to restore economic relations with Moldova, including an item on the elimination of restrictions on admission of Russian sugar producers to the Moldavian market. Currently Moldova does not recognize Russian certificates of origin ST-1, and perform sugar export and import operations under the quota. Sudzucker Moldova expressed a negative attitude to the idea of the abolition of quotas, as this will stop the delivery of Moldovan sugar to the EU.

KAZAKHSTAN

The reason of sugar shortage in Kazakhstan lies in the lack of railcars, according to administration officials. Despite the sharp rise in prices from 220 to 300 tenge/kg in some regions, sugar demand sensibly exceeds the supply.
