According to the press service of the department, the decision was made based on the results of a quarantine phytosanitary examination of tomato samples taken from Uzbek enterprises during video inspections. Deliveries will go under the guarantees of the competent authority of Uzbekistan.

From July 22, 2021, the Rosselkhoznadzor banned the import of tomatoes and peppers from the Tashkent region in connection with the detection of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and Pepino mosaic virus in products.

As violations are eliminated, restrictions are removed. So, from November 15, six producers of tomatoes and peppers received the right to export to the Russian Federation, from December 29 – one producer.
