The Phytosanitary Inspection Service of the Republic of Srpska, as part of its regular control of agricultural seed shipments upon import, prohibited the import of a shipment of soybean seeds totaling 4,000 kilograms because it did not meet the prescribed quality standards. During the inspection of the shipment, the inspector conducted sampling for laboratory analysis to assess its quality. Based on the test report, it was determined that the germination rate was below the minimum required for seed quality. Consequently, the importer was prohibited from importing the seeds and instructed to return them to the sender or to destroy them according to the decision of the republic phytosanitary inspector. With the beginning of the planting season, the republic phytosanitary inspection pays special attention to the import control of seeds, planting materials, and other agricultural inputs circulating in the market of the Republic of Srpska, as the quality of these directly affects the yield quality in domestic agricultural production.
