A delegation of the Russian Federal Service for Surveillanc of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing “Rosspotrebnadzor” will pay a visit to Moldova on June 22-24. The Russian experts will inspect a number of fruit and vegetable canning factories.

Outgoing Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry Ion Sula has told IPN that he will have a meeting with the Russian experts on June 22. It will also involve the administration of the National Food Safety Agency. Afterward, the experts will visit a number of canneries, including in Gagauzia.

The results of the visit will be communicated to the administration of “Rosspotrebnadzor”, which will take a decision. Ion Sula is optimistic that the canneries will be able to resume the export to Russia as Moldova has all the capacities to ensure the quality and safety of its cans.

Russia imposed a ban on the import of canned fruit and vegetables from Moldova last summer.
