Once again, the Kremlin has decided to wield an economic weapon in response to the political crisis in which it is embroiled with Turkey, following Ankara’s decision to shoot down a Russian fighter aircraft on the Syrian border in late November 2015. The boycott on imports of Turkish agricultural produce, implemented in early January 2016, involves large volumes of fruits and vegetables. Could this be enough to upset the balance of the international market for certain products?
