The Government of the Russian Federation extended the period of validity of the duty-free deliveries of Moldovan agricultural products to the Russian market until March 31, 2021, IPN reports.

In a posting on Facebook, ex-President Igor Dodon wrote that the preferential regime on the export of a number of categories of fruit and vegetables, wine and other agricultural products to the Russian Federation is the result of the agreements he reached with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin in 2018.

According to him, owing to this regime the Moldovan producers save 300 to 500 million lei a year.
