Russia has banned the import of 23 tons of bananas from Ecuador due to an infection with the polyphagous humpback fly, a pest that can affect bananas, melons, and other products. The contaminated batch was discovered in the port of Vladivostok. The Rosselkhoznadzor department has prohibited the import of bananas and will return them to Ecuador. This is part of a larger series of bans on the supply of fruits and vegetables to the Russian market, with contaminated products being returned to the senders.
