India and Israel to export meat and dairy to Russia
Four Indian food suppliers have been given access to Russian markets, and Israeli meat and dairy products are expected on Russian shelves as early as the end of 2014.
A full list of Indian companies allowed to export meat and dairy products to Russia is expected by the end of the year, said Russian Deputy Economic Development Minister Aleksey Likhachyov. Within a few weeks, Russian inspectors will certify a number of food processing plants in India.
First batches of Israeli products could arrive in Russia before the end of the year, said Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich after a meeting in Jerusalem.
He said Russia is also interested in agricultural technology from Israel. It would mean creating dairy and cattle breeding in Russia.
