Iran Resumes Bell Pepper Exports to Russia

Iran’s bell pepper exports to Russia will resume as of March 5, Agriculture Ministry has announced. 
Following negotiations carried out on the sidelines of President Ebrahim Raisi’s visit to the neighboring country last month and a visit to Iran by a delegation from Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor), Russia lifted the ban on bell pepper imports from Iran, IRNA reported, quoting Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali as saying.  
Russia recently sent back 37 trucks loaded with Iranian bell pepper from Dagestan border crossing due to failure to meet Russian pesticide standards.
