Earlier, the head of the Ministry of agriculture of the Russian Federation Alexander Tkachev did not rule out the return of export duties on grain in the force majeure, for example, in the case of a sharp rise of the dollar, or a bad harvest.

"The price of grain on the world market is more or less stable, so the introduction of export duties in the first strike by producers. Sellers of grain, their margins will not miss the loss of the fees would impose on farmers", — said M. Chekurov.

According to him, the current high harvest of grains in the country does not need to think about the return of the barriers, and the definition of quotas for deliveries of grain abroad.

"Russia needs from the harvest of 2016 to supply China with 8 million tons of grain. And the quota is still there, no real steps in this direction are taken", — said the Minister.

In the crowded bins of grain-growers will be in distress. Now, said M. Chekurov, the peasants sell their grain for a pittance, for 6 thousand rubles per ton to pay off debt, whereas during the first state intervention in the area of trading traded wheat class 1 9-10. 5 thousand rubles per ton. But the state quota will be purchased in the Omsk region, only 32 thousand tons from more than 3.3 million tons of harvested grain. Two million tons will be left in the region for its own needs, and the remaining 1.3 million tons need to ship outside the region.

The duty on wheat operated from the summer of 2015, while the Russian government does not reset it since September 23, 2016 to July 1, 2018. According to the Russian grain Union, last season farmers lost due to the introduction of export duties on grain are about 50 billion rubles.
