According to the press service of Soyuzrossahar, on April 16, the Government signed Decree No. 522 (hereinafter referred to as the Decree), which allows sugar producers to conclude agreements on the export of white and raw sugar outside the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The main goal is to support the export of Russian sugar against the background of low prices on the world market by increasing its efficiency in the formation of large consignments and optimizing logistics costs. In pursuance of the clause of the provisions of the Resolution, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, based on the balance of supply and demand for sugar in the domestic market, prepared and posted for public discussion a draft Order, which sets the required volume of sugar exports outside the EAEU in the amount of 1 000 000 tons for the period August-July 2020/21.
