Belarus can raise export tariff for rape

Belarus regards the possibility of increasing the export tariff for rape in order not to allow to ship oilseeds abroad. This question was raised during the meeting of Council of ministers of Belarus Republic on the 24th of July.

The yield of winter rape this year is a bit lower as compared to the last season. In total about 40% of the crop were lost across the republic, and in Vitebsk oblast - 75%. The farms were forced to resow such crops in spring. To decrease losses of rapeseeds, the farms were proposed to use import machinery and high-production domestic combines "Lida -1300" while harvesting them.

In total the republic plans to prepare 120.000 tonnes of rapeseeds for industrial processing, including 90.000 tonnes directed according to state order.
