Cherkizovo Group recently participated in the annual Made in Russia forum which was held at the Russian Export Center and attended by Russian and foreign companies as well as the Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Cherkizovo announced on December 10.
Cherkizovo Group had a stand at the event showcasing the company's products.
The forum focused on the challenges of the next decade. Among other pressing issues, topics included the use of new business solutions to grow exports, the reduction of bureaucratic red tapes and the application of e-commerce mechanisms in export operations.
The forum attracted heads of major Russian and foreign companies, federal and regional authorities, banks, regional export support centers and various business associations and unions.
Speaking at the event, Mishustin urged Russian businesses to actively adopt digital technologies in their export operations and called for a reduction of the administrative burden on exporters. He noted the continuing growth of non-commodity exports this year, particularly in the agricultural sector. In the first ten months of 2020, exports of agricultural products increased by 15%.
The minister also visited the stands of major Russian exporters from various industries.
"This was a very successful year for our exports, with our meat product shipments rising by almost 70%. This success comes on the back of the great work that the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance has been doing in the last few years to open international markets for Russian meat and meat products," said Andrei Terekhin, head of industry unions and government relations at Trading Company Cherkizovo.
"The Ministry of Agriculture and Russian Export Center also played their part by promoting domestic products and making them more competitive in foreign markets. I am confident that this support will help Cherkizovo and other industry players to further expand exports."
