Belarus has extended the embargo on food products from Western countries for another six months. This means that Paragraphs 1 and 3-5 of Government Resolution No.700, “On the application of special measures against certain types of goods,” from December 6, 2021, will stay in force until June 30, 2023.
The document regulates the introduction of the embargo on a broad list of goods produced in countries that pursue discriminatory policies and unfriendly actions against Belarus. The import ban applies to a number of goods from the European Union, the United States of America, Canada, Norway, Albania, Iceland, North Macedonia, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Montenegro, and Switzerland.
The list of banned goods includes potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, cabbage, apples, nuts, and other products.
