ArmInfo.On February 5, the Russian Federation lifted restrictions on the import of tomatoes and peppers from Armenia. This is reported by the food safety inspection body.
The source notes that earlier Russian experts found signs of the Pepino mosaic virus in tomatoes and pepper imported by 13 companies from the Armavir region of Armenia. As a result, imports were restricted. In order to establish the presence of the disease, the inspection body conducted research, the results of which were submitted to the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of the Russian Federation (Rosselkhoznadzor). As a result of joint discussions, Rosselkhoznadzor lifted temporary restrictions on the supply of tomatoes and peppers from February 5, 2021.
It should be noted that the import of tomatoes and peppers from the Armavir region of the Republic of Armenia to Russia was banned from December 14, 2020 due to the detection of the Pepino mosaic virus in products, in respect of which the Rosselkhoznadzor introduced a temporary quarantine phytosanitary measure.
