Russia’s Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) has stopped the supply of various types of vegetables and fruits to the capital’s market from producers in several countries including Egypt, China and Iran.
Spokespeople stated that import has been suspended in order to prevent large-scale infectious diseases among the population. The ban includes a number of Turkish producers of oranges, tangerines, grapes, peppers, lemons and pomegranates. It also includes producers from Egypt, Iran and China.
