Russia returns a cargo of Turkish peppers.

Russian phytosanitary service (Rosselhoznadzor) returns the goods in Turkey because it would be a carrier ofCalifornian thrips, according to the results of laboratory tests carried out by the organization.

For 2 months, 85 tons of Turkish origin peppers were returned to the sender for the same reason.

Russia is the largest importer of fruits and vegetables from Turkey, but she does not hesitate to make very strict phytosanitary controls.
