From September 22, supplies of fruits and vegetables from Egypt to Russia will be terminated. This was stated by Deputy head of the Rosselkhoznadzor Julia Shvabauskene.

"From September 22 imposes temporary restrictions on import of fruits and vegetables from Egypt. Speech, in particular, citrus fruits, tomatoes, potatoes and other products", she said.

Yu Shvabauskene noted that the prohibition stems from the lack of effective work of the phytosanitary system of Egypt in the current year the Rosselkhoznadzor repeatedly detected in Egyptian products of quarantine objects.

The Deputy Minister said that a temporary restriction will be in effect until the Russian-Egyptian meeting at the expert level.

We will remind, in the beginning of the week, the Rosselkhoznadzor has warned Egypt that may limit the supply of horticultural products due to the discovery in it of quarantine objects. The phytosanitary service of the country was sent a letter with a proposal to deal with the situation and spend about this meeting.
