Scientists have conducted research in the field of insects, plants, bacteria, and fungi. The Altai laboratory is accredited to carry out various research methods, including both traditional methods in biology and high-tech molecular methods such as PCR.
The research results confirm that the batches of peas meet China's phytosanitary requirements.
It should be noted that when sending peas to China, compliance with phytosanitary requirements must be ensured not only for the batch ready for shipment, but also for the fields where it was grown, as well as the warehouse facilities where the batch was stored before being loaded onto transport vehicles.
Exporting agricultural crops to China is a promising direction for Russian producers. To start exporting, strict phytosanitary requirements must be met.
China's phytosanitary requirements have several key characteristics.
Firstly, there is an extensive list of quarantine pests, including more than 400 harmful organisms.
Secondly, there are specific requirements for grain, legume, and oilseed crops and their products exported from Russia. These requirements are documented in protocols signed between the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China, describing the conditions for sending specific agricultural crops from Russia.
Crops covered by these protocols include peas, buckwheat (including buckwheat groats), flax, sunflower, millet (including millet groats), rapeseed, soybeans, oats (including oat groats and oat flakes), barley, corn, beet pulp, as well as meal and cake (soybean, rapeseed, sunflower).
For most agricultural crops, the protocols provide for phytosanitary monitoring, which includes sampling and laboratory testing of seed material, as well as verification of production, processing, and storage conditions. This process helps to establish compliance of the exported products with China's phytosanitary requirements.
Only after successfully completing all these procedures and confirming the compliance of the agricultural crop with China's requirements, will the batch of products be allowed for laboratory research. This is necessary to obtain a conclusion on the phytosanitary status of the sub-quarantine product, based on which a phytosanitary certificate will be issued.
