Kazakhstan introduces ban on export of buckwheat oil

ASTANA, October 7 (Itar-Tass) -- Kazakhstan introduces a ban on export
of oil and buckwheat for six months and believes the other members of the
Customs Union, Russia and Belarus, will follow suit.
Kazakhstan's prime minister signed an order, which comes into force
ten days following the official publication and will remain valid for six
months, the government's press service said on Thursday.
"The ban is caused by the unfavourable weather conditions this year,
which may affect production and supply of oil-bearing plants and
buckwheat."
Kazakhstan's Ministry of Economic Development will have to inform the
Customs Union members on the ban. It will also advise the Customs Union
commission to discuss implementation of similar measures in the other
member-countries.
