This was stated by the Minister of economy of Turkey Nihat Zeybekci. "We decided almost all the issues with our Russian colleagues regarding trade restrictions. There was one or two very small issues related to the agricultural products – meat, dairy products, chicken. On all the main issues we have agreed. I am sure that until October 20, when we will meet again in Kazan at the meeting of the intergovernmental Commission, all problems will be solved completely. Because both sides are ready for this", — said the Turkish Minister on the sidelines of the 86th Izmir international trade exhibition in which Russia is participating as the partner country.

Then the restrictions were partially lifted. By early June, the ban was in force in respect of frozen meat and offal of chickens and turkeys, tomatoes, cucumbers and gherkins, fresh grapes, apples, pears, strawberries and strawberries.

In addition, the Rosselkhoznadzor in 2016 has imposed a ban on supplies to Russia of Turkish tomato, pepper, pomegranate, eggplant, lettuce and iceberg lettuce, zucchini and pumpkins.
