Russia has halted all fish imports from Armenia after imposing a partial ban earlier this month, the country’s state-run news agency TASS reported today, citing Russia’s agricultural safety agency.

The agency, Rosselkhoznadzor, restricted seafood imports from all but two of Armenia’s fish processing plants on June 1 after the facilities allegedly refused to undergo health and safety inspections.

In a statement today, the agency said it exposed safety violations at those two plants — MF Export and Invest Plus — and moved to also ban the import of their fishery products.

“A decision was made to temporarily suspend product certification for these remaining enterprises,” TASS quotes Rosselkhoznadzor as saying.

Russia imports large volumes of fish from Armenia, mainly trout and other fresh fish, with annual trade historically valued at $40 million to $58 million. Armenia exports more than 3,500 tons of trout to Russia each year, and the Russian market accounts for about 99% of Armenia’s fish exports․
