Ukraine: Ukraine Halts Fruit and Vegetable Exports to Russia

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

After a series import of bans on potatoes, sunflower seeds and soybeans, Russia’s food safety authority, Rosselkhoznadzor introduced a complete ban on all products subject to quarantine control. The ban covered all fruits and vegetables and is valued at $51 million (based on 2013 values). While the diversification of vegetable exports seems problematic, fruit exports on the other hand, can be redirected to other markets. The complete ban package includes meat, dairy and many processed products. Ukraine’s agricultural exports to Russia in the remaining months of 2014 will be negligible.
