The Rosspetsmash Leadership Urges Government to Halt Grain Export Tax for Five Years
The leadership of the Rosspetsmash association has called on the Russian government to suspend the export tax on grain for at least five years. A secondary proposal would raise tariff subsidies for transporting agricultural products from Siberia. This appeal was conveyed to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, according to Kommersant, which cites the association’s letter to the premier.
Proponents argue these moves would help modernize Russia’s fleet of agricultural machinery. The document also outlines ongoing state support for domestic agricultural production and notes that the government has acknowledged receipt of the association’s letter.
“The plan envisions eliminating the grain export tax for a minimum of five years starting April 1, along with higher subsidy tariffs for transporting Siberian agricultural goods under the 1432 program, including a 10-15% discount on equipment purchases”, the article states.
A key motivation for Rosspetsmash’s appeal lies in the shrinking output of agricultural machinery, including tractors and combines. Official figures show a 1% year‑over‑year drop in production in 2022 compared with the prior year. In the first two months of the current year, production has continued to decline in monetary terms, by about 11% (source corroboration from Kommersant).
On March 3, Russia’s Trade Representative to Kazakhstan, Andrey Babko, announced that Moscow and Astana have intensified their industrial collaboration. The two sides are expanding cooperation across multiple sectors, including the manufacture of automobiles, electric locomotives, and tractors, signaling broader regional integration in industrial policy (Kommersant).
