The Ministry of Agriculture offered to zero duties on meat imports

For & nbsp; this amount, the department considers it necessary to zero the fee. Proposals & nbsp; have already been sent to the & nbsp; Ministry of Economics for & nbsp; assessment, the & nbsp; documents said.

The Ministry of Agriculture recalled that & nbsp; earlier the EAEU changed the tariff preferences grid. Therefore, since & nbsp; October of this year, beef importers (mostly Latin America and & nbsp; India, which last year they imported 199.6 thousand tons of & nbsp; frozen products) at & nbsp; entering & nbsp; RF lost the opportunity to receive a discount on & nbsp; duty. Now it is at least 15%.

Without & nbsp; discounts, products will rise in price for & nbsp; Russia & nbsp; & mdash; such costs will increase the price tag by almost & nbsp; 4% to the & nbsp; cost for & nbsp; imports from & nbsp; foreign countries. Moreover, & nbsp; average world prices for & nbsp; this type of meat & nbsp; have already grown by & nbsp; 30% for & nbsp; year to & nbsp; September 2021 to & nbsp; $ 4.4.

“ Thus, we can talk about the import of inflation, since this situation accelerates the growth of prices for & nbsp; food inside & nbsp; country & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; is written in the & nbsp; document.

The & nbsp; Ministry of Agriculture did not provide additional comments. Any measures will be taken with & nbsp; taking into account the situation with & nbsp; prices and & nbsp; saturation of the market with products, Izvestia reported; in the & nbsp; Ministry of Economic Development.
