Since the start of 2023, Russian specialists have monitored and issued phytosanitary certificates for the export of 5985 tons of pine nuts to China, doubling last year's exports. The walnut exports from the Republic of Buryatia were sourced from other regions of Russia due to Buryat exporting organizations being included in the registered producer list maintained by the competent department of China. The Phytosanitary Surveillance Department ensured that all requirements of China were met and no violations were found during the export process.
