The Eurasian Economic Commission plans to extend an export restrictions on sunflower seeds, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service said in a June 22 report. The restrictions, which will apply to exports outside the Eurasian Economic Union, will be extended through Aug. 31 to stabilize domestic prices for sunflower oilseeds, the report said. The restrictions would allow exports of the seeds on a “permit basis.” The EAEU includes Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The EEC is its regulatory body.
