Russian health officials have halted the export of a wheat consignment destined for Morocco. local media reported on Wednesday, March 19th.
"In a field of wheat cultivated in the Chelyabinsk region, insects were found. Although these pests do not necessitate quarantine measures within Russia, they are still subjected to certain limitations in various key nations that import our grain," the source specified.
