Food and Fertilizer Export Restrictions Tracker

Our export restriction tracker continues monitoring food and fertilizer trade policies by the countries. We have reconciled our database on food and fertilizer export restrictions, incorporating a number of missing export restrictions from other sources such as those maintained in WTO. According to the tracker, there are thirteen export restrictions of various types active. The currently active restrictions include India’s export ban sugar and broken rice; Mali’s export ban shea nuts, groundnuts, soybeans and sesame; Malaysia’s export tax on palm oil; Nigeria’s export ban on maize; Ghana’s export ban on maize, rice and soybeans; Iran’s export tax on onions; Jordan’s export ban on sugar, rice, corn, sunflower oil, palm oil, and soya bean oil; Malawi’s export ban on maize; Pakistan’s export ban on wheat; Uzbekistan’s export ban on potatoes, maize, and sugar; Zambia’s export ban on maize; Russia’ export tax on barley, maize, and wheat; and Indonesia’s export tax on palm oil. The next update will be on May 10, 2025.
