On Tuesday evening, the European Commission adopted a proposal to impose tariffs on a range of agricultural products from Russia and Belarus, as well as certain nitrogen fertilizers. However, this is not a done deal yet.

The European Commission proposed on Tuesday imposing tariffs on more agricultural products and certain nitrogen-based fertilisers from Russia and its ally Belarus to prevent a potential threat to EU food security.

"The agricultural products subject to these new tariffs accounted for 15% of Russia's agricultural exports to the EU in 2023, which had not yet been subject to increased tariffs," the statement said.
