Russian plant-safety inspectors to visit Georgia from 2 November
Russia's veterinary and phytosanitary watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor says its specialists will visit Georgia from 2 November at the invitation of Georgia's National Food Agency. They will review phytosanitary certification of pome and stone fruit exported to Russia and audit a laboratory that tests plant products for pesticide residues. According to the agency, Russia had imported 70,500 tonnes of Georgian fruit and vegetables as of 24 October.
