Russia Bans Armenian Grapes, Cherries, Apricots Amid Rising Violations
(MENAFN) Russia's agricultural oversight body Rosselkhoznadzor has widened its crackdown on Armenian farm imports, announcing a fresh wave of bans effective June 2 following a surge in detected compliance failures.
The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision confirmed Monday it had moved to block the entry of Armenian grapes, cherries, sweet cherries, and apricots into Russian territory — the latest salvo in an accelerating series of trade restrictions targeting Yerevan's agricultural sector.
According to the agency, the measures are essential to defending the phytosanitary integrity of both Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), while also shielding state-backed development programs spanning domestic horticulture, fruit cultivation, and viticulture.
The newly imposed bans extend a growing list of restrictions Rosselkhoznadzor has leveled against Armenian exports in recent weeks. Prior actions saw the agency suspend certification for fish products bound for Russia and halt imports of Armenian cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, and strawberries.
The clampdown has not been limited to fresh produce. Authorities also moved against the mineral water brand Jermuk, along with one Armenian brandy label and two wine brands — signaling a broad-based tightening across multiple product categories.
Rosselkhoznadzor attributed each round of restrictions to repeated violations uncovered in shipments of imported goods, underscoring what officials characterize as a systemic compliance problem requiring firm regulatory intervention.
