Moscow | Reuters—Russia on Monday extended quotas on the import of certain types of seed from countries designated as “unfriendly”, the Interfax news agency reported, citing the Russian government’s press service.
Interfax reported that a decree has been signed extending until Dec. 31, 2025, quotas on potato, wheat, rye, barley, corn, soybean, rapeseed, sunflower and sugar beet seeds imported from unfriendly countries.
Up to 18.3 thousand tons of seed can be imported in 2025 from unfriendly countries, a category that includes all European Union members, alongside the United States and other states aligned with Washington.
The original quota on unfriendly countries’ seeds was introduced in February 2024 and expires on Tuesday.
