The Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation has announced an increase in the quota for tomato purchases from Turkey, raising it from 350 thousand tons to 500 thousand tons annually. This decision was published on the official legal information portal of the Ministry after tomato prices in Russia rose for the first time since the end of March. This increase in quota follows a meeting between Turkish President Erdogan and Russian President Putin on April 18, 2023, where the tomato quota increase was discussed, but previously unimplemented.
