These prohibited goods were produced in China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, as well as in the countries of the European Union and Japan.
For comparison, in 2024, 110 tons of similar products were returned.
From 2022 to 2025, more than 231 tons of prohibited pesticides were not allowed for import.
“Due to the lack of adequate penalties for illegal import, the return of cargo proves to be not very effective. In addition, the territorial office of the Rosselkhoznadzor for the Orenburg region has thwarted repeated attempts to import the same pesticides and agrochemicals that were previously returned to Kazakhstan,” the statement notes.
