Report: Turkey lifts restrictions on Russian wheat imports
MOSCOW, May 4 (PRIME) -- Turkey has lifted restrictions on imports of wheat from Russia, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci.
President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday, after a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow and Ankara will abolish all mutual trade restrictions except for Turkish tomatoes.
In March, Turkey slapped a 130% duty on imports of Russian wheat, corn and other products cancelling the country’s duty-free regime. The market saw the step as an attempt to exert pressure as Russia is yet to unban imports of Turkish tomatoes and some fruit after an earlier conflict involving downing of a Russian Su-24 jet by Turkish air forces.
