Sudan’s Prime Minister Bakri Hassan Saleh Tuesday issued a decision to continue the ban on Egyptian farming products and to stop the importation of any seeds or seedlings from the neighbouring country.
Last September, the Sudanese government temporarily suspended all imports of vegetables, fruit and fish from Egypt following U.S. reports about cases of strawberries from Egypt causing chronic hepatitis and other diseases.
Also, seven countries including Kuwait, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Japan have taken strict measures banning imports of Egyptian agricultural products.
An official at the General Directorate at Sudan’s Criminal Investigation on Monday said that tests on samples of Egyptian oranges showed a presence of fungus which indicates that it was irrigated with sewage water.
