Russia bans gasoline exports for 6 months... and Arab countries are among the most important importers.
Last year, Russia produced 43.9 million tons of gasoline, and exported about 5.76 million tons, or an estimated 13% of its production. African countries are the largest importers of Russian gasoline, including Nigeria, Libya and Tunisia. Russia is already voluntarily reducing its oil and fuel exports by 500,000 barrels per day in the first quarter of this year as part of OPEC Plus efforts to boost prices.
