the Press-Secretary of Rosselkhoznadzor Julia Melano stated that the Agency has no plans to lift the current restrictions on import products of Turkey.
the Ministry of agriculture noted that "the question of full or partial lifting of restrictions on supplies of Turkish fruits and vegetables to the Russian market should be discussed in conjunction with the removal of the Turkish side opposing restrictions on Russian products."
According to the National Association of exporters of agricultural products, the Turkish authorities since March 15, 2017 stopped issuing licenses for the import of Russian wheat, corn, sunflower meal and vegetable oil.
