YEREVAN, June 2. /ARKA/. Rosselkhoznadzor will impose temporary restrictions on the import of fresh grapes and stone fruits from Armenia starting June 2, 2026.
The restrictions apply to the supply of cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines, and fresh grapes of Armenian origin, as well as the transit of these products to EAEU countries, according to the agency's website.
