In one year more than 7,500 tons of banned import foods were destroyed in Russia
More than 7,500 tons of food has been destroyed in Russia since the Kremlin's introduction of a ban on Western imports in August last year – the Russian Agricultural Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) reported on Friday.
Almost all the food that was destroyed — 7,282 tons — was of plant origin. 228.6 tons were products of animal origin. The destruction of banned food products from the West was ordered by President Vladimir Putin in August 2015. (MTI)
