Serbia Bans Exports of Certain Ag Products, Medical Equipment

Serbia recently announced an export ban on a range of “essential commodities” to prevent a “critical shortage” caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, according to an unofficial translation of a March 14 government notice. The measure restricts exports of agricultural products and medical equipment, including sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, sugar, certain yeast products, certain soaps, gloves, “wipes,” certain masks, goggles and certain disinfectants. The export ban applies for 30 days. The notice is updated through March 27.
