Residents of Kirov will be sold infected oranges from Egypt.
According to the agency, on March 26, 2026, employees of the Rosselkhoznadzor Administration for the Kirov Region inspected 2.351 tons of fresh Egyptian oranges at the wholesale fruit and vegetable base in the city of Kirov, which had arrived from the Leningrad Region to our region. A quarantine object was found in the fruits - the red scale insect in an unviable state. "Since the main way of spreading the scale insect is through planting material, and infected fruits do not pose a serious threat, the products are allowed for sale in the Kirov Region. Before consumption, the fruits should be washed with warm water," the agency noted.
