As a result of the review, it was established that 26 tons 978 kg of onions were exported to Kyrgyzstan through the “Do‘stlik” border checkpoint in Andijan Region. In accordance with international requirements, the products underwent phytosanitary examination under laboratory conditions, following which a positive laboratory conclusion confirming phytosanitary safety was issued.
The phytosanitary certificate for the onion products was issued on January 16 after completion of quarantine control procedures.
