Russia Restricts Imports From Seven Beef Plants In Argentina And Paraguay
Russia’s agriculture safety watchdog will impose restrictions on beef supplies to Russia from five plants in Argentina and two plants in Paraguay starting from 18 December, it said on Wednesday, warning that it could widen these restrictions.
Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement it found ractopamine in some shipments, a feed additive that is banned in Russia. Its officials will hold talks with their counterparts from Argentina and Paraguay on 6 December.
Ractopamine allows livestock to grow at a faster rate while consuming less feed. It is banned in countries including Russia and the European Union.
The watchdog said last week it had removed temporary restrictions on beef supplies to Russia from two plants in Brazil.
