MOSCOW, Aug 18 (Reuters) – Russia will not extend its ban on exports of sunflower seeds at the end of August, the agriculture ministry said on Thursday.
Russia banned exports of sunflower seeds from April 1 to Aug. 31 to protect domestic supply for sunflower oil producers.
Ukraine and Russia are the world’s largest sunflower oil producers, with India among major customers.
The ministry will keep its 50% export tax for sunflower seeds until the end of August, 2023, it added.
