As Interfax writes with reference to the press service of the ministry, this measure is currently being worked out.
It was proposed to introduce restrictions on grain exports "in order to preserve the necessary volumes of buckwheat and buckwheat groats in the domestic market and to prevent sharp price fluctuations."
The department noted that the current volumes of production of cereal crops in Russia allow meeting the demand of processing enterprises, as well as fully meeting the needs of the population in the main types of cereals, including buckwheat.
“Since November 2020, there has been a significant increase in the export of Russian buckwheat to a number of importing countries against the background of the current global market situation,” the Ministry of Agriculture said.
Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Agriculture is preparing measures to curb prices for buckwheat.
