      At the international airport named after Chkalov in Nizhny Novgorod, Rosselkhoznadzor employees did not allow seven batches of dried fruits. This was reported by the press service of the department's management for the Nizhny Novgorod region and the Mari El Republic.

      The prohibited products, weighing a total of 16.6 kg, were found with passengers arriving from Uzbekistan. The dried fruits were attempted to be carried in hand luggage and baggage. Import is restricted due to the risk of spreading dangerous quarantine objects: weed seeds, pest insects, and plant diseases. All seized products were destroyed under the supervision of department specialists.

      Recall that poachers were detained for illegal fishing of sturgeon in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The fish is listed in the Red Book of the region.
