The Russian Ministry of Agriculture has denied receiving any proposals to limit the import of vegetables and potatoes. During a meeting with market participants and departments, retail chains expressed their willingness to increase purchases of domestic products. The ministry is planning to provide retailers with aggregated information on regional reserves. Russian vegetables and potatoes are deemed competitive in quality and price. The ministry is also planning to stimulate the growth of vegetable and potato production. Retail chains are interested in supplying products from domestic manufacturers and are waiting for information on the state of potato stocks and their quality from Russian suppliers before deciding on import plans.
