In addition, all previously issued permits are temporarily suspended until inspections are completed and the regulatory framework is amended. The authorities promise to inform about the resumption of issuing permits additionally.
The reasons for the ban have not been officially announced, but such measures may be related to control over food security and regulation of the domestic market.
