Belarus ready to suspend powdered milk exports to RF for 6 months
MOSCOW, June 15 (Itar-Tass) - Belarus has expressed readiness to suspend powdered milk exports to Russia for six months, Russian Agriculture Minister Yelena Skrynnik told a meeting of the government's presidium on Monday.
"Today we received a verbal proposal from Belarus to stop the import of powdered milk for six months, for the second and third quarters - this is the season of large milk yields," she said.
"This is a good proposal for us. It will give an opportunity to our agricultural producers to sell Russia's milk at adequate and acceptable prices," Skrynnik said.
