Russia lifts import suspension on Chilean salmon farmer Ventisqueros
The company's site in Chile was among 14 processing plants and 2 cold storage facilities in Chile waiting to receive clearance to restart shipments.
Russian authorities have lifted a ban on the importation of salmon products produced by Chile's Ventisqueros.
The company's site in Chile was among 14 plants and two cold storage facilities in Chile waiting to receive clearance to restart shipments.
In February, Alicia Gallardo, head of Sernapesca, and Sergei Dankvert, the director of Russia's Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (Rosselkhoznadzor) met in Moscow to discuss the issue.
Australis Seafoods and Camanchaca most recently joined the list of Chilean salmon producers to have their products banned from the Russian market.
Russia also announced a ban on products from two other Chilean salmon farmers, Salmones Aysen and Yadran Quellon.
Russian officials visited Chile to inspect salmon processing plants in November last year after temporary import restrictions were placed on Chilean salmon producers at the end of October.
Restrictions were placed on exports from plants, including those of Camanchaca, Acme Chile, Cermaq Chile, Inversiones Coihuin and Nova Austral.
Some operations for Multiexport and Cermaq were also singled out for "enhanced laboratory monitoring" by the agency.
