Moscow imposed a total ban on imports of many Western foods in retaliation against sanctions over Ukraine, a stronger than expected measure that isolates Russian consumers from world trade to a degree unseen since Soviet days. The sanctions affect the 28 European Union members, the United States, Canada, Australia and non-EU member Norway. They cover all meat, fish, poultry, dairy, fruit and vegetables. Food items that are not covered mostly include commodities such as tea, coffee, sugar, grains and seed oil. Russia imported about $39 billion worth of food last year from all countries, about $23.5 billion of which was in categories affected by the sanctions. From the countries covered by the sanctions, Russia imported $17.2 billion worth of food, of which $9.2 was in the affected categories. Food is only a small part of Russia’s trade with the West: total imports from countries covered by the ban were $155.3 billion in 2013, according to U.N. data. The ban is valid from Aug. 7 and will last for one year. (Reuters) Following are details of the most valuable types of imports affected and the value imported from each sanctioned country last year.
