Ulyukayev admits possibility of problems with fruits because of anti-Turkish sanctions

Ban on the supply of some Turkish products, imposed by the decision of the Russian government, can cause problems with deliveries of fruits and vegetables to stores, the Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukayev stated.

He pointed out that the signing of contracts with companies from other countries and addressing of issues of phytosanitary control will take some time.

The most serious disruptions may be associated with the supply of citrus fruits and tomatoes. At the same time, Ulyukayev stressed that in the end, all Turkish vegetables and fruits will be replaced, RBC reports.
