Russia has decided to allow the import of lemons from Turkey, although the embargo on other products from our southern neighbor remains in force. The reason for the decision of the Russians is the fact that they can not drink vodka without lemon.
As of December 1, the Russian government has imposed an embargo on a list of products imported from Turkey to Russia. The reason for this is the Russian Su-24 bomber shot down by the Turkish authorities.
Among the products banned for import are tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower and broccoli, oranges, tangerines, grapes, apples, pears, apricots, peaches, plums, strawberries and others. Lemons remain outside this list.
According to official data in Turkey in 2013, the country exported $ 83 million worth of lemons to Russia. In 2014, that amount fell to $ 78 million due to the economic crisis. The total import of lemons from Turkey to Russia amounts to 38%.
The other main reason for keeping their imports from Turkey is the fact that during the long winter months, Russian consumers use large quantities of lemons along with vodka, said the head of exporters Bulent Aymen. He reminded that lemons are in the first place in the sales of citrus fruits.
The list of goods that will not be embargoed includes figs, hazelnuts, spices and lettuce. These products are allowed for import, because the Russians can only be reached from Turkey, commented the Russian Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev.
The Russian embargo on Turkish goods will not disturb the Bulgarian market of fruits and vegetables, Vladimir Ivanov from the State Commission on Commodity Exchanges and Markets is categorical.
The market in the European Union is sufficiently balanced and predictions that the entry of residual quantities of goods from our southern neighbor will lead to serious dumping are greatly exaggerated and will not come true, the expert said.
