China has approved the import of Jerusalem artichoke from Russia and expanded the list of imported beef by-products to include cartilage, aortas, and stomachs. These agreements were signed in Beijing by Rosselkhoznadzor's head Sergei Dankvert and China's General Customs Administration head Yu Jianhua. The new protocol updates requirements for these by-products and removes COVID-2019 related provisions. Since early 2024, the supply of beef by-products from Russia to China has doubled compared to the same period last year.
