Russia's agricultural watchdog, Rosselkhoznadzor, has relaxed import bans on Uzbekistan and Azerbaijani products following investigations that found no harmful contaminants. Uzbekistan has been cleared to export tomatoes and peppers from seven producers in the Fergana region, while Azerbaijan has been given the green light to export apples from three companies in the Shabran region. The decision comes after Rosselkhoznadzor eased import bans on Uzbekistan's tomatoes and Azerbaijani suppliers' apples, highlighting increased control over agricultural product shipments to Russia.
