Russia lifts ban on Bangladesh's potato exports and expresses eagerness to import the vegetable.Bangladesh can now export potatoes to Russia as the country has lifted the ban recently, says the embassy of Russia-the European country now at war with neighbouring Ukraine.

"The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of the Russian Federation (Rosselkhoznadzor) removed previously imposed restrictions and resumed the import of potato from the entire territory of the People's Republic of Bangladesh," a spokesperson for the embassy in Dhaka said Monday.

The decision has been made based on the information provided by the competent Bangladeshi authorities responsible for quarantine and protection of plants, about the measures taken to prevent violations of the phytosanitary requirements of the Russian Federation and the Eurasian Economic Union member-states.

In recent times, Bangladesh has been requesting the country to withdraw the ban citing that necessary measures regarding the quarantine were taken by the government.

During separate meetings with the Ambassador of Russia, Alexander Mantytskiy, Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi and Agriculture Minister Dr Muhammad Abdur Razzaque had raised the issue.

Russia, along with the Moscow-led bloc CIS, is also becoming a potential market for Bangladesh's apparel which constitutes the country's main export products. Exporters appear a bit worried over western sanctions on Russia's financial systems over the Ukraine issue.

Why was it banned in the first place?

Why was it banned in the first place?

Many countries in Europe and japan do not allow importing potato from Bangladesh. I heard bacteria found in BD soil is the reason for this. But, importing things like potato chips or fried potato is allowed.

It has more to do with arsenic in Bangladeshi soil.

 

[Destranator]

Good move. The last thing a country needs is a retaliatory sanction on access to t-shirts.

why russia importing potato, it is worlds biggest land mass i am sure they can grow billion potatos.

I am not sure but arsenic can also be a reason. But, i have read somewhere that Bd soil has bacteria that enters the products born in the soil and so many countries do not import.

Most of Russian territory is in cold barren Siberia

do you know russians grow wheat in the winter, they have the winter wheat seed.

 

[Paitoo]

Yes, but somehow I have seen Russians eating them more. They have potato with almost every meat dish. And even make vodka out of it.

This I wasn't aware of. But I do know that along with Ukraine they are the bread basket of Europe.

I don't think so. Arsenic may exist in Bangladesh, but it is usually deep underground. It only comes up when you dig for tubewell water. On surface soil, arsenic is rather rare and not in concentrations that are harmful to human health (Concentrations of arsenic exceeding 1,000 μg/L).

Potato is the staple food in many European countries including Russia. Similarly, BD has rice and Pakistan has wheat. India has both rice and wheat.

In the case of BD we use potatoes in the curry. For example meat with potato or fish with potato.
