Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black said he’s “saddened” by Russia placing a one-year ban on U.S. food imports but believes the move could backfire, with Russian consumers being the ones hurt the most. “I don’t want to downplay it because whenever you have these serious policy issues taking place, you hate to see that happen,” he said. “But the diversity of our market now makes this not as much an impact as it would have in the past.”
