Russia restricts fish imports from Armenia
Armenia must suspend veterinary certification of live fish and fish products intended for export to Russia from all Armenian companies, except for two that have passed inspection, starting June 2.
This was reported by Rosselkhoznadzor.
The agency said Rosselkhoznadzor inspected fish processing enterprises in Armenia and visited trout farms from May 21 to 27, 2026. Fifty percent of the enterprises refused inspection.
"Based on the inspection results, starting June 2, 2026, the Armenian side must suspend veterinary certification for Russian recipients of live fish and fish products from all Armenian companies, except for the two that passed inspection, until the situation is resolved," the agency said in a statement.
It is clarified that fish products from the two approved plants will be imported into Russia subject to laboratory monitoring for safety indicators.
