A one-year ban on select Western products and a rapid slide in the value of the ruble has led to sharp growth in the number of counterfeit dairy products sold in Russia, newspaper Nezavisimaya Gazeta reported Wednesday, citing Russia's agricultural watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor.
Fake dairy products currently account for up to 50 percent of what's on shop shelves, according to the newspaper. Analysts cited by Nezavisimaya Gazeta also said that the rise in fake dairy products was also leading growth in palm oil imports.
