The tax for barley has increased from $12.14/mt to $39.60/mt, based on an average index price over the last seven days of $241.70/mt.

Corn export duties jumped to $52.20/mt from the current $30.35/mt, according to an index set at $259.70/mt.

Taxes are to be updated at the end of each week and will come into force on the third working day after each publication.
