Russia may increase meat, dairy imports from Argentina

MOSCOW, Aug 7 (PRIME) -- Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Oversight is considering increasing poultry, pork, beef and dairy products imports from Argentina, the service’s spokeswoman Yulia Trifonova said after the meeting with Argentina’s representatives on Thursday.

“The service has put forward the initiative of Argentina replacing the U.S. in the imports of poultry,” Trifonova said.

On Thursday, the service held talks with Ecuador to increase imports. “A significant increase in dairy products and crustaceous supplies should happen,” she said.
