Belarus earns sanctions – BBC

Rosselhoznadzor announced enhanced monitoring of Belarusian dairy and fish products supplied to Russia. Federal Service bothered sharp rise in deliveries to Belarus food raw materials from countries that have come under Russian retaliatory sanctions. Restrictions on the products of a “forbidden” materials can have a positive impact only on the dairy industry of Russia, and fish processing sector will not be able to help, say market participants.

Rosselhoznadzor can enter limit on the import of products of several fish and dairy enterprises of Belarus. Currently Service has increased the number of inspections of Belarusian products. Formal occasion – to the quality.

«Quality checks are ongoing with respect to all products but when we have reason to suspect the presence of risk, we increase the frequency of monitoring, – said “Gazeta.ru” aide Rosselkhoznadzor Alex Alexeenko. – Cases of microbial contamination detected continuously, and another thing – how often ».

In the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance have questions about the quality of dairy products and fishery complex. This is due to a sharp increase in the supply of Norwegian fish and dairy products to the Lithuanian and Polish production, he said.

According to the agency, the supply of chilled and frozen fish from Norway to Belarus for the first 15 days of September compared to July of this year has more than doubled: 2.5 thousand. tons against 1.1 thousand. tons respectively. Delivery of pasteurized cream from Poland in the first half of September increased 10-fold compared to July 3.5 thousand. Tons against 260 tons. Also in August of 2014 in Belarus began to receive pasteurized cream from Lithuania.

«We are very serious questions arise when one company starts to sharply increase exports to Russia – said” Gazeta.ru “Alexeenko. – These companies are moving to new raw materials, start at one and the same equipment to produce much more than they did before. In these companies there are great difficulties with production control ».

« Our task, if colleagues have increased production to make sure that it was safe, “- the words of Chapter Rosselkhoznadzor Sergey Dankvert ITAR TASS. Chief, said that such a sharp increase in imports of fish and dairy products in Belarus is not a regular or seasonal.

The representatives of Russian companies dairy and fish industry indicate that their Belarusian colleagues are now getting considerable benefit from the situation in due to the response of food sanctions.

«Belarus for Russian producers has always been a dangerous rival, as there are below the cost of production – told” Gazeta.ru “the representative of the Public Relations of the National Union of Milk Producers’ Soyuzmoloko” Maria Zhebit. – Belarusians have a good opportunity to increase its share in the Russian market. Sales volumes of dairy products from Belarus to Russia through the stock exchange has increased by half ».

The Union opposes the direct export and processing of raw materials from the country fell under the ban, as it negates all the positive effects of the sanctions, said Zhebit. For this reason, in general, the organization welcomes the increased monitoring by Rosselkhoznadzor.

«Russian dairy enterprises hope that sanctions will give them a chance to increase the volume of domestic production – she explained. – But if all banned flow goes through Belarus, the meaning of the embargo will be no ».

The problem of re-export and processing of the” forbidden “countries does exist, she said. “Belarusians actively buying raw materials in all the countries that have come under the sanctions, and process it in their businesses – said” Gazeta.ru “representative” Soyuzmoloko. ” – After that, the products are supplied as the Belarusian goods. ” If we have entered the food sanctions, they need to comply with them, she summed up.

One of the participants of the Russian fish processing market, who requested anonymity, said “the Newspaper” that the possible restrictions that may impose Rosselhoznadzor already did no impact on the industry.

«In a situation where a grocery embargo brought down the entire Russian fish processing to the Urals, to discuss possible restrictions of supply of fish products from Belarus funny” – said “Newspaper .Ru »representative of one of the companies.

Now just won the Belarusian refiners. “Business is not yet aware of any serious cases of direct re-exports of raw materials fell under the ban countries – said” the Newspaper “source. – However, the law does not interfere with anybody now in Belarus to import fish from Norway and refine it. ” In principle, the Belarusians is a legal opportunity to earn, say market participants.

But Russian refiners in any way affected, said the source “Gazety.Ru”. “Those whose business has been associated with the Norwegian red fish, severely affected, because they do not have any possibility to replace the raw materials – the participant of the market. – An adequate replacement in the short and medium term is very hard to find. ” Far frozen chum salmon, as well as the Chilean fish, can not be an analogue of Norwegian Salmon, says the source “Gazety.Ru».

processing of “forbidden” in the Russian raw materials involved are large enough company dairy and fisheries sector in Belarus. According to Rosselkhoznadzor, the main buyer of dairy products from Poland in September was “Savushkin product.” Deliveries of raw fish has significantly increased the company “Santa Braemar.” If in July the company delivered in Russia 752 tons of chilled and frozen fish fillets and 324 tonnes, the 15 days of September, these indicators have already reached 1.17 thousand.
