Thai export of fruit and vegetables to Russia grounded by sanctions

BANGKOK (The Nation/Asia News Network): The international sanctions against Russia and fewer flights to the country have severely affected Thai export of fresh vegetables and fruit to Russia, Thailand's commerce envoy in Moscow said.

International Trade Promotion Office in Moscow, said the imports of vegetables and fruit from Thailand were affected after Aeroflot and other Russian airlines, including S7 Airlines, Ural Airlines and other freighter airlines, stopped their services since March 8 because of the international sanctions.
