Winnipeg, October 24 (CNS) – Turkey’s decision to impose quotas on imports of certain Russian agricultural products isn’t going over well with some in Moscow. On October 9, Turkey slapped additional requirements on Russian exports of dry peas and a number of other crops. Russia’s Deputy Minister of Economic Development says the move is in violation of existing trade law.
The USDA is pushing forward with plans to upgrade the production and sales of dry beans in North Dakota. The agency is spending US$105,000 to improve the detection of blight pathogens affecting the crop. As well, the agency is also spending just under US$50,000 to optimize row spacing and seeding for dry bean yields. Around US$70,000 will also be spent on improving chickpea and faba bean weed control.
