"From our point of view it is much more effective to open a part of the enterprises. We know their area, know the yield, we know how much they can supply. Control supply is more profitable, "- he said.
According to Dankvert, this is beneficial because many Turkish tomatoes still come to Russia through other countries.
"Our neighbors have increased deliveries and are being rendered impersonal, under the guise of their products," the head of the Rosselkhoznadzor noted.
He also said that the interest of Turkish business in Russian grain is quite obvious.
"Our grain is good enough to have good demand, but where will the Turkish colleagues find wheat? In addition to Ukraine, nowhere. "
As the Internet portal Kuban 24 wrote, the Turkish authorities in March deprived Russia of the duty-free supply of wheat, corn and sunflower meal. Russian Ambassador to the WTO Gennady Ovechko will meet in Geneva with his Turkish counterpart in the near future to discuss the situation with duties on wheat imports. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation counted on increasing supplies to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and Africa.
In Russia on January 1, 2016, a ban was imposed on tomatoes, onions and shallots, cauliflower and broccoli, cucumbers and gherkins, oranges, mandarins and citrus hybrids, grapes, apples, pears, apricots, peaches and nectarines, plums and thorns , Strawberries and strawberries from Turkey.
In the Ministry of Agriculture of Turkey May 6, 2016 expressed the hope that Russia would abolish restrictions on imports of agricultural products. The Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation urged not to hurry to lift the ban on products from Turkey.
Yulia Melano, an official representative of the Rosselkhoznadzor, said on August 16, 2016 that Russia is ready to lift the embargo if the Turkish side strengthens the phytosanitary safety of its fruits, vegetables and berries. The import of some agricultural goods from Turkey was allowed in early October 2016. The Russian government in March 2017 lifted the ban on the supply of onions, cauliflower, broccoli and carnations from Turkey.
