    Russian transport subsidies

    Looks like Russia has their own Crow rate:



    Russia will boost transport subsidies to speed grain exports in 2018

    12/7/2017

    MOSCOW, Dec 7 (Reuters) - Russia will spend 2 billion
    roubles ($34 million) in grain transportation subsidies to help
    to speed exports in 2018, the Deputy Agriculture Minister said
    on Thursday.
    Already among the world's largest wheat exporters, Russia is
    trying to step up a gear after this year's record crop, which is
    keeping its grain storage, railway transport and export
    infrastructure working at maximum capacity.
    "There will be 2 billion roubles next year to stabilise
    (grain) prices in the domestic market," Deputy Agriculture
    Minister Igor Kuzin told reporters on the sidelines of a
    conference in Moscow.


    Russia's domestic prices for third-class wheat are down by
    20 percent since about the same time last year.
    Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachev said in September
    that these subsidies will cost the budget about 3 billion
    roubles and make exports of up to 1.7 million tonnes of grain
    attractive for suppliers from Siberia, Volga and Central regions
    of Russia.
    Kuzin estimates that these measures will allow the export of
    up to 3 million tonnes from the same regions in 2018. Russia's
    state trader United Grain Company and at least three other grain
    exporters have already requested subsidies, he added.
    The Agriculture Ministry said the measures do not fall foul
    of commitments made to the World Trade Organization as part of
    the body's efforts to eliminate export subsidies.
    "We are not subsidising exporters, we are subsidising
    producers," Kuzin said.
    Russia competes with the European Union, Ukraine, the United
    States and other countries in the global grain markets.
    In October the EU told the WTO agriculture committee that it
    had learned from various sources that Russia planned to offer
    43.4 million euros ($51 million) in discounts on railway
    shipments of exported grain originating from seven Russian
    regions.
    The EU asked how this was compatible with the commitment of
    WTO members to eliminate agricultural export subsidies. Russia
    replied that the discounts had limited geographical coverage and
    would have a modest effect on the agricultural sector.
    The Agriculture Ministry expects Russia to export 45 million
    tonnes of grain in the 2017/18 marketing year, which started on
    July 1. It has already exported 22 million tonnes, up 30 percent
    year on year.

      I posted this two months ago.

      Works out to a flat rate $11/mt cad to ship grain to Port from anywhere in Russia.


      25 years ago they were importing our wheat. Now they export more than we do and for way less with only 1/3 of their productive arable land in use....

        and in Canada the fed government is only concerned with declaring farms and small business as tax cheats, imposing phony carbon taxes, and continues to permit the railways to shut down branch lines, apparently more b-trains on the hiways are good for the environment.

            Why is equipment, fertilizer, fuel, seed prices the fault of government? Isn't that capitalism and the free market? Do you not agree with companies having the right to charge what ever the market will bear? What do you want the government to do?

              Seed is the fault of the Fed gov with their rules.

              sorry after 5 years varieties shouldn't be decommissioned they should be made available to clean your self.

              costs are out of control.

              Equipment will come down if no one is buying.
