Fruits and vegetables from Kyrgyzstan without documents detained in Novosibirsk

Over the past week, more than 70 tons of fruit and vegetables have been illegally brought into the Novosibirsk region from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. This was reported by the Rosselkhoznadzor.

20 tons of watermelons and 20 tons of onions from Kazakhstan, 14 tons of Uzbek and 8.5 tons of Kyrgyz grapes, as well as 4 tons of peaches, 3.6 tons of plums and 3 tons of nectarines from Kyrgyzstan were detained. Fruit and vegetable products were destined for sale in the cities of Siberia.

When carrying out quarantine phytosanitary control at «Karasuk» checkpoint, the inspectors of the Rosselkhoznadzor Office for the Novosibirsk Region established that Kazakh onions and Kyrgyz products were not labeled on packages. In addition, a part of Kazakhstani watermelons was accompanied by an invalid phytosanitary certificate, and there was no phytosanitary certificate for Uzbek grapes.

The cargo was returned to the senders to Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
