Russia is threatening to ban imports of dried fruit from Tajikistan and Azerbaijan, according to a press release issued by Rosselnadzor, Russia’s agricultural oversight agency.
The possibility of a ban emerges after repeated instances of pests being discovered in shipments of dried fruits from both countries, according to the agency.
Rosselnadzor has warned the countries of measures they need to take to avoid the ban, stating that it reserves “the right to take additional protective measures.”
