State Duma passes law on green agricultural products

The State Duma adopted a law on green products in the third reading. It regulates relations related to production, storage, transportation, labelling and sale of agricultural products, raw materials and foodstuffs with improved characteristics.

The document provides for the creation of a single state register of producers of organic products. It will include producers of goods, who have confirmed the improved characteristics of their products.

The list will be compiled by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, the criteria and rules of certification will be approved by the Russian government.

It is already known that the register of "green" products will not include products grown with genetic engineering, genetically modified and transgenic organisms.

Ionizing radiation and the use of packaging that can lead to product contamination will also be forbidden.

Producers will have to use recyclable or biodegradable packaging. Also, moderately hazardous or low-risk pesticides must be used during cultivation.

The law will take effect on March 1, 2022.
