Russian consumer organisations: China ships fruit and vegetables with high MRL

The first statistics for August and September show that Turkey and Serbia have profited from the boycott. These countries exported significantly more since the ban was introduced. German companies received an order to build a new storage facility for vegetables at St. Petersburg and Russian mushroom growers see opportunities. However, Russian consumers are concerned about the chemicals China used to treat its products. Poland focuses its sights on India. The country wants to export apples to this huge market in Asia to offset the losses. Dutch growers who applied for compensations between 4 and 10 September may face problems. They will receive no compensations from the old regulation, but it is still unclear whether their applications fall under the new rules. Ukrainian traders are taking big risks by exporting to Russia, as the Russians pay in roubles 14 days after delivery. Due to the devaluation of the currency, exporters receive relatively less.
