In a major relief for Pakistan’s agricultural sector, Russia has lifted its ban on potato imports from Punjab, paving the way for the resumption of exports to one of the country’s important international markets.
The decision is expected to benefit potato growers and exporters by improving market access, increasing export opportunities, and supporting agricultural earnings. Officials believe the move will strengthen bilateral agricultural trade while providing fresh momentum to Pakistan’s potato export industry.
Industry stakeholders have welcomed the development, expressing optimism that renewed exports will help improve farmers’ incomes and expand Pakistan’s presence in global agricultural markets.
