en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sergey Dankvert, head of the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor), stated during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) that the agency has discussed the topic of small-scale farmer cooperation with counterparts from Armenia, Uzbekistan, and Azerbaijan. Dankvert noted that regulatory authorities cannot independently oversee thousands of small producers and must promote farmer cooperation, first establishing an inspection system within cooperative organizations, after which regulatory bodies can step in.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the forum, Dankvert said: "We told our counterparts from Uzbekistan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan: small-scale farmers should exercise self-supervision and cherish what they have." He added that after the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a meeting with Armenian regulatory authorities is planned to continue discussions on cooperation. Commenting on restrictions on supplies of Armenian products, Dankvert pointed out that no such restrictions have been imposed on animal products, and the supply volumes of these products remain extremely low.
