On February 24, 2025, an incident was reported involving fresh tangerines and oranges originating from Kazakhstan. The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, known as Россельхознадзор (Rosselkhoznadzor), detected that fresh cucumbers were not included in the accompanying phytosanitary certificate for these fruits.

This incident falls under the category of Control and highlights a compliance issue with phytosanitary regulations. The absence of necessary documentation for fresh cucumbers in the shipment of tangerines and oranges raises concerns regarding proper agricultural practices and adherence to import/export standards.

Phytosanitary certificates are essential for ensuring that agricultural products are free from pests and diseases that could affect plant health. The oversight in documentation could potentially impact trade relations and food safety protocols.

Authorities are likely to address this issue to ensure compliance with agricultural regulations and to prevent future occurrences. The incident underscores the importance of strict adherence to phytosanitary measures in international trade.
