The boycott of Egyptian fruit and vegetables, with the exception of potatoes, will be lifted since October 1, according to the Russian press agency Tass.
“The parties reached an agreement on the export of Egyptian fruit and vegetables,” said the Russian phytosanitary service. The Egyptian companies now meet the phytosanitary requirements that have been set by Russia. A Russian delegation will visit the country in order to evaluate the situation in October and November. During this final visit, the potato export will be evaluated. Exports have been boycotted by Russia since September 22.
