Ecuador promised to do everything to alleviate Russia's concerns about bananas. On February 16, Rosselkhoznadzor returned to five companies from Ecuador the right to supply bananas to Russia, but the details will be discussed.

Later, bananas from five exporters from Ecuador will be allowed to be imported into Russia only after a laboratory examination. The entire list of quarantine objects will be affected by the laboratory examination, which will affect the whole list of items on the list of banned items.
