Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated that K Palace believes that Russia's food import substitution plan is a success.

In August 2014, in response to Western sanctions, Russia banned the import of meat, dairy products, vegetables, fruits and other foods from EU member states and other countries. On December 7, 2020, “Kommersant” quoted a survey report by the Russian “National Rating Agency” (NRA), saying that in the eight years since the Russian government’s import substitution strategy before 2020 was adopted, only meat imports have been significantly reduced by 65%, but The decline is still 2.8 percentage points less than the target set by the strategy. By the end of 2020, imports of dairy products will be reduced by 20% (target 30%), fruit imports will be reduced by 11% (target 20%), and vegetables will be reduced by 27% (target 70.3%).

Commenting on the investigation, Peskov said that Russia’s import substitution plan was successful.

Peskov said: "The Russian food industry is fully satisfying the needs of the Russians.” He emphasized, "There has never been a task of stopping imported food.”
