EU's duty on Russian grain will hit EU countries, Russia watchdog says
- Country:
- Russia
A duty that the European Union plans to impose on Russian wheat supplies will hit the European market, Sergei Dankvert, head of Russian agriculture watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor, was quoted as saying by state-owned news agency TASS.
The imposition of duties could lead to a loss of grain handling capacity, while Russia would be able to divert to other markets the 2.5-3 million metric tons of grain it had been shipping to the EU, Dankvert said.
