60-isekhondi isifinyezo
Russia has lifted restrictions on potato imports from Pakistan’s Punjab province, allowing 101 exporters to resume shipments from 7 July after a review of Pakistan’s phytosanitary control system. Access is conditional on guarantees from Pakistan’s Department of Plant Protection, and the Russian veterinary and phytosanitary service excluded two exporters for breaching Eurasian Economic Union quarantine requirements during 2025 shipments. Three Pakistani exporters — Chase International, Zahid Kinnow Grading and Waxing Plant, and National Fruit — had already been permitted from 8 April. The timing matters: Pakistan has a bumper harvest of roughly 12 million tonnes with an estimated 4 million tonnes available for export, and the reopened market should absorb surplus, stabilise domestic prices and earn foreign exchange. Pakistan had engaged Russian authorities since February with pest status records and laboratory reports on Potato Tuber Moth and Tomato Wilt virus, the findings behind the May 2025 ban.
IRussia isuse ngokusemthethweni imikhawulo yokungeniswa kwamazambane avela esifundazweni sasePunjab ePakistan, ivumela abathumeli bempahla abangu-101 ukuthi baqale kabusha ukuthunyelwa kusukela ngoJulayi 7, kulandela ukubuyekezwa okuningiliziwe kohlelo lokulawula ukungcola kwezitshalo ePakistan. Lesi sinqumo, esadluliselwa kuMnyango Wezokuphepha Nocwaningo Lwezokudla Kazwelonke wasePakistan, sinikeza ukufinyelela emakethe ngaphansi kweziqinisekiso ezivela kuMnyango Wezokuvikela Izitshalo wasePakistan. Kodwa-ke, i-Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance ikhiphe abathumeli bempahla ababili ohlwini oluvunyiwe, ikhomba ukwephulwa kwezidingo zokuhlukaniswa kwezitshalo ze-Eurasian Economic Union ngesikhathi sokuthunyelwa kwangaphambilini kuka-2025. Ngaphambi kwalokhu kwanda, iRussia yayisivele ivumele abathumeli bempahla abathathu basePakistan—iChase International, iZahid Kinnow Grading and Waxing Plant, kanye neNational Fruit—ukunikeza amazambane kusukela ngomhlaka-8 Ephreli. Umsebenzi wezohwebo wasePakistan manje ucele uMnyango Wezokuphepha Kokudla ukuthi uqinisekise ukuqaliswa okugcwele kwesinqumo.
Ukuqala kabusha kokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kuza ngesikhathi esibalulekile embonini yamazambane yasePakistan, ebhekene nokuvunwa okukhulu kwamathani angaba yizigidi eziyi-12, kanti amatani alinganiselwa ezigidini ezine atholakala njengensalela yezimakethe zokuthumela kwamanye amazwe. Ukufinyelela emakethe entsha yaseRussia kuzosiza ekumunceni lawa masheya angaphezulu, kuqinise amanani asekhaya, kusekele imiphakathi yabalimi, futhi kukhiqize imali engenayo eyigugu yokushintshaniswa kwamanye amazwe. IPakistan ibilokhu isebenzisana neziphathimandla zaseRussia kusukela ngoFebhuwari, ithumela amarekhodi esimo sezinambuzane kanye nemibiko yelabhorethri eqinisekisa ukungabikho kwegciwane le-Potato Tuber Moth kanye ne-Tomato Wilt—izinkinga ezaqala ukuvinjelwa ngoMeyi 2025. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngemuva kokuvalwa komngcele waseTorkham, iPakistan ihlola ezinye izindlela zokuthumela kwamanye amazwe emazweni ase-Central Asia ngeChina ne-Iran. Imihlangano ye-Virtual B2B ehlelwe yi-Trade Development Authority yasePakistan kanye ne-PHDEC isivele iqalile ukusiza abathumeli kwamanye amazwe ukuthi basebenzise leli thuba elivelayo.
