Thanks largely to the agreements reached and contracts concluded at international exhibitions, in recent years, there have been qualitative changes in the Russian agro-industrial complex, from the predominance of imports to the realization of its own export potential. In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia has developed a passport of the national project “International cooperation and export” in terms of exports of agricultural products. And again for the future, the leading platforms for the realization of the set goals will be inserts and congresses of various levels.
