Russia has imposed a ban on the import of tomatoes and peppers from Uzbekistan's Fergana region due to the discovery of the tomato brown rugose fruit virus. The ban is enforced by the Rosselkhoznadzor to prevent the virus's spread in Russia.

The Rosselkhoznadzor has requested the Eurasian Economic Commission to consider including these viruses in the Unified List.
