OREANDA-NEWS The Rosselkhoznadzor records a sharp increase in the supply of pest-infected crop products from Armenia and asks the Armenian colleagues to take immediate measures to prevent violations.
According to the service, this year harmful organisms in the flower and fruit and vegetable products of Armenia were detected in 72 cases. "At the same time, a sharp increase in violations was recorded in November - only from November 24 to November 26, 36 facts of the importation of infected flowers, cucumbers, dried fruits, grapes, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, apples, pears to Russia were revealed, accompanied by phytosanitary certificates issued by the food safety inspection authority of Armenia," - the press release says.
In plant products, eastern fruitworm (Grapholita molesta (Busck), Pepino mosaic virus, tomato brown rugose fruit virus and western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergand) were found to be quarantined for the EAEU member states.
In addition, five cases of exceeding the maximum permissible levels of pesticide residues in tomatoes, strawberries, apples and grapes were found in November, which may indicate a violation by Armenian producers of regulations on the use of pesticides, the report says.
