Russia: Cereals

Question

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of the EU's proposals to impose tariffs of up to 50% on Russian grain imports.

Answer

We are closely following the EU's proposals to impose tariffs on Russian grain and oilseed imports, which are subject to adoption by the European Council.

The UK imposed 35 per cent additional tariffs on Russian cereals and oilseeds in March 2022, following which imports fell by over 99 per cent and are now negligible.
