The Rosselkhoznadzor has threatened to suspend the shipment of grain for export

the Rosselkhoznadzor warned the 30 companies that own freight terminals in the Krasnodar territory and the Rostov region about a possible suspension of up to 90 days. Now these regions are the main exporters of grain. Located here 9 ports 62 companies have already exported 14,19 million tonnes, while overall in the current season Russia exported 14,33 million tonnes of grain, down 20.5% over the same period last MG. In particular, wheat exports increased by 33.4% to 12.13 million tons.

 

In the office this action is explained by concerns about the sanitary condition of places of shipment, where, during the inspections revealed the spilled grain, plant quarantine and other deficiencies that increase the risk of infection of grain. After received from importers of complaints about the quality of Russian grain, the Rosselkhoznadzor has instructed regional offices to strengthen control over the condition of the place of shipment. In the case of existing violations in addition to administrative fines, the company's activities may be suspended for up to 90 days.

 

In September, the Rosselkhoznadzor has tightened requirements for the quality of wheat for some countries, in particular Egypt, through the received complaints and adverse weather conditions in some regions. Exporters believed that after reaching the export volume of 25-30 million tonnes, this will artificially restrict grain exports.

 

at present, the grain market participants attributed the closure of the shipping sites with active export of grain in September, when it was exported 5.1 million tons of grain against the 4.93 million MT a year ago. However, the Rosselkhoznadzor plans to deny export restrictions and insist that the tightening of quality requirements will reduce the risk of claims from importers, and will contribute to the increase of export of Russian grain.

 

Specified step has already pushed the stock price of wheat, because any restriction on the export of cheap Russian wheat will increase exports of Ukrainian and U.S. wheat.
