Starting July 18, the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Food Safety has introduced temporary restrictions on importing Turkish stone fruits (plums, peaches, and apricots) into Russia.
Consensus
- Rosselkhoznadzor introduced temporary restrictions on imports of stone fruits from five Turkish companies.
- The restrictions were due to repeated detection of quarantine organisms in the products.
- The affected fruits include cherries, plums, apricots, peaches, and nectarines.
- The measures are based on Article VII of the International Convention on Phytosanitary Measures and Federal Law No. 206-FZ 'On Plant Quarantine'.
- The restrictions were announced on July 16 or 17, 2024.
Points of divergence
- The restriction will lead to potential price increases if expanded to more companies, and current prices for some fruits are declining due to a good harvest in Turkey. — kommersant
- The restrictions on stone fruit imports from Turkey start on July 18, and the measures also include fish products from Armenia and other agricultural goods such as pome fruits, eggplants, potatoes, dried fruits, and grapes from Armenia. — vm
- Turkey is not among the largest suppliers of stone fruits to Russia; major suppliers are Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Turkey remains the main supplier of citrus fruits and ranks second in watermelon and melon exports. — gazeta_spb
