The authorizations for carrying freight from Moldova to Russia via Ukraine will be used up during the next few days. In such conditions, a part of the authorizations for the fourth quarter will be distributed now so that the carriers could export goods to the Russian market. President Igor Dodon said such an agreement was reached during his recent visit to Moscow, IPN reports.
“Trade in agrifood products in the first five months of this year rose by 20%. This is primarily due to the concessions offered to us by the Russian Federation. I refer to the duty-free export of the main agrifood products, as we agreed with the President of the Russian Federation several years ago. This decision has a positive effect on the farmers of the Republic of Moldova, who, as I said earlier, annually save 200-300 million lei by not paying duties when entering the Russian Federation,” Igor Dodon stated after the meeting of senior state officials.
He noted that in Moscow he also discussed the renegotiation of the Russian loan of €200 million. According to him, the sides will start the discussions the next few days.
