Kazakhstan imposes quotas on Peruvian grapes

Astana. April 12. Silkroadnews – Kazakhstan imposed quotas on grapes from Peru, as Kazakh governmental agency on consumer rights inform.
“Upon the reception of a letter of recommendation from Russian Federal service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, Kazakh governmental agency on consumer rights decided to impose quotas on Peruvian grape, as its levels of pesticides are higher than allowed by the laws”, states the message distributed this Monday.
