Thus, the export of cereals, but also of bakery products, pastries and biscuits can be resumed.
"Another important point refers to the ban on the export of wheat and derived products, which was specified and imposed in Military Ordinance 8. The articles prohibiting this export cease to be applicable, because following the discussions the perspective was achieved and the purchase necessary for replenishing the state reserve, so that food security is ensured until the next harvest. From now on, I am announcing to producers and traders that this export is no longer prohibited", said the minister.
