The restriction on the import of vegetables from Azerbaijan will negatively affect Russia’s Krasnoyarsk food market, Marketing Director of the Krasny Yar chain of supermarkets Viktor Bakhov said, Trend reports with reference to sibnovosti.ru.

“Azerbaijan was a supplier of high-quality tomatoes at average prices,” Bakhov said.

"There may be problems with the average-price tomatoes as the quantity of this product is limited,” marketing director said.”

“If not a rise in prices, then there may be a certain deficit for tomatoes, but we will try to prevent it,” marketing director said.

The Azerbaijani Food Safety Agency is currently considering the issue in connection with the decision of the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance to ban the import of tomatoes and apples by Russia from Azerbaijan from December 10, the Azerbaijani Food Safety Agency told Trend.

“The detailed information on the results of the consideration will be given soon,” the statement said.
