Trouble with Ecuador; Russia chose India to import bananas! - What is the reason?
Ecuador, a South American country, used to purchase military equipment from Russia. But now it is reported that they are purchasing from America. Russia, angered by this, has suspended the contract for 20-25 percent of its annual banana imports from Ecuador.
In a statement released by Russia's Agricultural Monitoring and Regulatory Agency (Rosselkhoznadzor), ``There are already some conflicts between Ecuador and RussiaWe have also suspended the importation of bananas from the South American country of Ecuador as a result of finding pests on the fruit. Instead, we have started importing bananas from India since January. This will increase the supply of Indian bananas to the Russian market and increase its consumption. This will increase the volume of Indian exports."
In a statement issued by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ``Due to the problem with Ecuador, the demand for bananas in Russia is increasing. It has decided to import bananas from India, which is known for producing a significant amount of bananas, and other fruits such as papaya, guava, mango, pineapple and other fruits are in high demand in Russia, so Russia has decided to import those fruits from India as well.
