The sharp increase in imports from countries such as Abkhazia, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Senegal and Azerbaijan has caused Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary & Phytosanitary Surveillance, Rosselkhoznadzor, to announce measures to control this increased supply.
According to Rosselkhoznadzor, in connection with the sharp increase in the supply of regulated products, in particular tomatoes, the agricultural watchdog addressed the countries' in question embassies with a proposal to hold telephone negotiations on the issue on 14-15 March 2016.
"Also, in the period from 14 to 18 March 2016 Rosselkhoznadzor delegates will pay a visit to Azerbaijan. As part of this visit, Rosselkhoznadzor specialists plan to visit places of fruit and vegetable cultivation, production and storage, and familiarise them with the system of phytosanitary certification of fruit and vegetables supplied to Russia," Rosselkhoznadzor reported.
