During the period of the food embargo against Western countries, Russia reduced the supply of some vegetables and meat. RIA Novosti reports details with reference to data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
It is noted that in 2014, the Russian Federation imposed a ban on the import of certain products from countries involved in sanctions against Russia. Last year, the embargo was extended for the current year.
