‘Regional companies won’t be affected by the temporary embargo on import of Russian poultry to Azerbaijan,’ A. Feoktistov, the spokesperson for Sverdlovsk Region Ministry for Agriculture and Food, said to UrBC.

‘Our enterprises are currently supplying poultry to Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, but not to Azerbaijan,’ he said.

The State Veterinary Service under the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan introduced a temporary embargo on the import of Russian poultry to the country due to the recent outbreaks of bird flu in the vicinities of Moscow.
