The Senate of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan ratified the Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Quarantine and Plant Protection between the Governments of Kazakhstan and Turkey.This document, created to ensure phytosanitary safety and prevent the import of quarantine pests, provides for cooperation between scientific organizations on plant quarantine, exchange of information on new regulatory legal acts in the field of plant quarantine and national lists of quarantine pests.The agreement also specifies the requirements for imported batches of quarantine products, accompanying documents and transit conditions for transported goods.According to Vice Minister of Agriculture Yermek Kenzhekhanuly, mainly nuts, tomatoes, peppers, apples, citrus seedlings, fruit and flower crops are imported from Turkey. The main quarantine products exported from Kazakhstan are almost all grain (wheat, barley, oats, sunflower) and leguminous (beans, lentils, chickpeas) crops.Over the past three years, about 700 thousand tons of crop products have been exported to Turkey, while the volume of imports amounted to more than 40 thousand tons of various agricultural crops and 2.7 million pieces of planting and seed material.“During this period, 76 attempts were made to import products that do not meet phytosanitary requirements, and in 6 of them, quarantine objects were identified. Due to the increased transportation of quarantine products, there is a risk of quarantine objects entering the territory of our countries, which may adversely affect the phytosanitary situation,” the Vice Minister noted.The adoption of the draft law on ratification of the agreement will allow the plant quarantine services of the two countries to raise cooperation to a new level.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/942657
