Government : Russia elects not to reinstate MOP export tax

摘要

THE RUSSIAN government has decided not to introduce export duties on potash, according to the country's business daily Vedomosti. Vedomosti on Thursday reported that the government's 2011-13 budget policy document makes no mention of potash duties. Russia's customs service earlier this year proposed an export duty on potash in a bid to contain domestic prices; duties ranging from 5 to 15% have been discussed by the country's officials (FW Online, March 26, 2010).
