What can we expect for the apples market after Russia’s accession to the WTO?

According to the WTO agreements, duties for almost all kinds of fruit and vegetable production in Russia will decrease greatly after Russia’s accession to the WTO, while, according to some

unconfirmed information, the duties for apples may become almost two times less.

However, the European exporters comment the advantages of  Russia’s membership in the WTO with caution. Suppliers say that the price will depend on the reference prices, which will be established by the customs. Besides, there are many predictions about the devaluation of the ruble.
