Fruit, vegetable, and flower exporters of Armenia will receive compensation, the Armenian government has decided at Thursday's Cabinet meeting. Businesses exporting fresh greenhouse-grown fruits, vegetables, and flowers to be exported from Armenia in June will receive compensation. The corresponding decision was made during today's Cabinet meeting of the Armenian government.

On May 25, it became known that the Food Safety Inspectorate of Armenia did not allow some of the country's businesses to export strawberries to Russia.

Starting from May 30, the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) has introduced temporary restrictions on the imports of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, greens, and strawberries to Russia from Armenia. Rosselkhoznadzor explained that the decision was made in response to the frequent violations during the supply of Armenian fruits and vegetables and to ensure phytosanitary safety in Russia.

Also, Rosselkhoznadzor has restricted the import of stone fruits and grapes to Russia from Armenia since Tuesday, and the import of apples, eggplants, potatoes, and dried fruits since Wednesday.
