"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.
