In Yekaterinburg, 10 tons of Uzbek peaches were destroyed.
Almost 10 tons of fresh peaches were imported to Yekaterinburg from Uzbekistan, but they were decided to be destroyed due to a pest - the oriental fruit moth. This was reported by the press service of the Ural Interregional Office of Rosselkhoznadzor.
- A batch of fresh peaches weighing 9.7 tons arrived at the fruit and vegetable base in Yekaterinburg by road transport. The initial inspection raised suspicions, after which samples were sent for laboratory testing. A live quarantine object - the oriental fruit moth - was found in the peaches, the agency clarified.
The oriental fruit moth is a small but voracious butterfly that is considered one of the most dangerous pests for orchards. Its caterpillars damage fruits from the inside, posing a significant threat to agriculture. The detection of even one viable specimen is grounds for declaring the entire batch infected. Rosselkhoznadzor notified the cargo owner of the danger, and he decided to destroy the batch.
It was previously reported that the import of Azerbaijani apricots was banned in the Sverdlovsk region.
