The Rosselkhoznadzor issued a warning to the grain owner. The owner is now required to disinfect the batch by fumigation and undergo a re-examination in an accredited laboratory.

Among the detected grain pests are the mite, the granary weevil, the red flour beetle, and the flour weevil. At the same time, export batches remain clean.
