Recently, Russian authorities have disclosed plans to introduce tariffs on exports of shell pine nuts, effective from August 1, 2024.

According to the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, the export tariff for shell pine nuts will be increased to 25% on August 1, 2024, with a minimum export price of 80 euros per ton. Additionally, from August 1, 2025, the tariff for shell pine nuts exported within one year will be hiked to 50%, with a minimum export price of 160 euros per ton. This measure is purportedly designed to encourage domestic processing of pine nuts in Russia.
