Description
To secure domestic supplies and prevent unjustified price increases, introduced temporary export tariffs for cottonseed, sunflower seed and their respective oils. Furthermore, exports of oil produced from imported sunflower seed were capped, while imports of oilseeds and vegetable oils were exempted from value-added taxation. All measures were set to remain in place until the end of 2021.
