DescriptionBanned export of products from farmers whose crops had been found to be infected by the State Service for Food Safety and Protection of Consumers of Ukraine. The move follows the detection of pests, disease-causing organisms and nematodes in barley, soybean and maize grown by some farmers, which violates phytosanitary requirements for exports from Ukraine to China.
