Phomopsis in sunflower consignments: phytosanitary controls tighten
Kazakhstan reported 23 detections of phomopsis in sunflower consignments from Russia in 2025–2026 and said it plans to suspend the issuance of phytosanitary certificates for such shipments. For sellers and buyers, this is a reminder to check documents and the phytosanitary condition of the product, and to monitor moisture and self-heating during storage.
