A draft government decree, developed by the Ministry of Agriculture and published on the portal of draft regulations, aims to exclude tribal snails, including grape snails, from the list of products prohibited from being imported into Russia under the food embargo. The decree will also modify the ban on the import of fish, crustaceans, and molluscs from countries subject to sanctions to include "live breeding land gastropods". This amendment is designed to permit the import of breeding products of snails from the European Union, particularly the Czech Republic, which is considered to have the best breeding material. The Ministry of Agriculture has highlighted that this change will impact individual entrepreneurs and farmer households involved in snail farming. The food embargo, imposed in 2014, prohibits the import of certain agricultural products, raw materials, and food from countries that have imposed anti-Russian sanctions.
