“The approvals are part of the World Trade Organization (WTO) ascension agreement between Russia and the United States,” said Kholopov. “The applications had been in process in Russia for two years, but no agency had the legal power to approve them.”

Russia’s Federal Agency for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Control (Rosselkhoznadzor) approved the two products, bringing the total number of biotech varieties approved in Russia for feed use to six.
