In the West, dissatisfied with Russia's decision to impose restrictions on grain sales

23

French weekly magazine Valeurs actuelles reports that Russian authorities have imposed restrictions on the sale of their crops in the world market, including wheat, rye, barley, and corn. In the past, export volumes amounted to 43,3 million tons of grain (33 million of which was wheat), but now they have fallen sharply to 7 million.

Such measures are associated with the spread of the coronavirus epidemic in Russia and in the world, and Moscow fears that, while maintaining the previous volume of foreign grain sales, it may not be enough for the population within the country. Grain is an important product on the Russian market, and export restrictions have become an attempt to avoid possible price increases.



Meanwhile, countries such as Belarus and Kazakhstan, which are connected with Russia by the framework of the Customs Union, do not affect the reduction in exports - they will be supplied in the same volumes.

The leaders of the World Trade Organization, as well as the World Health Organization, fear that such measures by Russia could undermine trade between countries, and the entire food supply chain in the world market will be disrupted.

It is planned that Russia will introduce quotas for the export of grain crops by the end of June this year, Valeurs actuelles writes.

    I don’t understand what grain is in the gas station country with the Maxim economy torn to shreds? For grain to your servants-Europeans, they instead of the second storage built an agricultural superpower.

      Right. Russian grain and Russia, as an independent state, independently decide where to send it: for export or for domestic consumption ...
      And let international organizations command Ukraine, which is governed by them (IMF, IB, USA, EU, etc.).

    The need has long been ripe for an exit from the WTO. And even it was not necessary to enter.
    As the unforgettable Chapay said "do not care and forget"

    Is there no discontent in the West?

    On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump banned the export of medical equipment and medicines that could be used to combat the coronavirus pandemic by decree.

    "I am signing a decree under the Manufacturing Protection Act to ban the export of scarce medicines by unscrupulous players and speculators," President Trump said. American manufacturers will be prohibited from exporting respirators, surgical masks, gloves, and other personal protective items. All of this is now required in the United States, according to President Trump. The President announced that the Federal Department of Health has taken control of several hundred thousand respirators, masks, significant volumes of disinfectants intended for export at inflated prices. "Most of these stocks have already arrived at American medical institutions," the president said.

    It is high time to use exported goods as a lever of pressure. And then almost thanks to half the world we feed. Bad habit left over from the USSR.

    The West always does not give a damn about what Russia is dissatisfied with ... So Russia often needs to spit on the discontent of the West, Russophobia patients of the former USSR republics and natives, and think exclusively about their own interests and the interests of the indigenous population of Russia !!!

    But what about quotas for the supply of grain to the EU internal market? Are they happy with them?
    In extreme cases, let them take it in Ukraine, they will give everything back, along with chernozem.

        On March 4, 2020, the government limited; there is a link to RIA Novosti and the newspaper Vedomosti. I wanted to insert, but changed my mind. Drive in Google. And I don’t understand what the news was a month ago, we forgot? Read RIA Novosti, specifically about breathing apparatus.

    It would be time to completely ban grain exports. Grain is needed domestically for the development of its own livestock. Grain is a cheap product, meat is an expensive one. We sell a cheap product and for this money we buy from other countries expensive meat grown by them on our grain. It is not right. Livestock levels should return. At least to the former, Soviet. And if you already sell grain, then it’s definitely not in the form of raw materials, but in the form of some kind of product (flour, animal feed, etc.)

      The number of cattle will not grow quickly, alas. Chicken is carried often, farrowing in 6 piglets is not uncommon. In a cow, one calf is born at a time.

        And then animal husbandry is not only cattle, it is Pigs too. Well, for kuvodstvo (I don’t know if I called it correctly?), Grain will not be superfluous either.

    Meanwhile, countries such as Belarus and Kazakhstan do not affect the decline in exports ...

    Knowing Lukashenko, I have no doubt that this goon and a freeloader will buy as much grain as he can grab and drive to the West.
    Therefore, Belarus should be strictly limited in terms of previous years. Enough is freebies.

    You never know what anyone is dissatisfied with. And the WTO has passed away a long time ago. Now look for food yourself, yourself.

    Why is all this ..., Russian grain is something to attend to? Grow yourself, trade yourself. Russia in general needs to distance itself from Euro-perverts. Some losses from the "civilized world", which they consider themselves to be. Well, if you can't grow wheat, walk along our border, suddenly something will come, either in your hand, or on your head.
