OREANDA-NEWS The list of agricultural and feed products from Russia and Belarus that are prohibited for import into Latvia has been approved by the government of the Baltic country. This was announced on March 5 by the Mixnews portal.
The ban applies to many vegetables and root crops. In particular, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cabbage, garden lettuce, carrots, table turnips and rutabagas, table beets, oat roots, root celery, radishes, cucumbers and gherkins, legumes, fresh vegetables are prohibited for import into Latvia.
In addition, it will be prohibited to import grain crops from Russia and Belarus to Latvia, such as wheat and a mixture of wheat and rye, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, sorghum and buckwheat.
Flour and pellets from meat or meat offal, fish or crustaceans, bran, starch production residues and similar residues, mixed feed from sugar cane and other sugar production wastes, residues from the production of fermenting beverages, oil feed from soybeans, peanut butter, cotton seeds, rapeseed seeds, Kosovo nuts or palm nuts, as well as shellfish or other aquatic invertebrates.
In addition, grape sediment, plant-based materials and plant waste, residues, by-products and products used in animal feed cannot be imported to Latvia from Russia and Belarus.
The resolution will come into force on March 8.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, as stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, the initiative of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to ban the import of Russian food to the EU countries would be suicide for the economy of the union.
The Latvian authorities are dissatisfied with the fact that Latvian ports and railways serve the transit of Russian grain. They decided, if not to completely ban the import of grain from Russia at the level of the entire European Union, then to block its path at the local level.
As Latvian President Edgar Rinkevich pointed out, principles are more important to Latvian entrepreneurs than money — and therefore they should be ready to go broke just to annoy Russia.
