"In total, the Commission considered 17 applications submitted by companies for placement in 5 pavilions: 1 in Egypt (Cairo), 2 each in China (Shanghai) and Saudi Arabia (Riyadh), 5 in the UAE (Dubai), and 7 in Turkiye (Istanbul)," the statement said.
The commission has approved 16 applications from 12 companies.
According to the statement, consumers abroad will now have an opportunity to get acquainted with honey from Samara, sweets from Oryol, cranberry beverages from the Pskov Region, alternative meat from Belgorod, mineral water from Kislovodsk, and other products from various regions of Russia.
"The promotional program of agricultural products via the network of ‘Good Food Russia’ pavilions is in demand among agricultural producers. This support measure is particularly relevant for companies in the SME segment, as the costs for the actual promotion, including listing, regtistering goods to enter the market, transporting exhibition samples, as well as getting promoted in retail chains and other services are covered by the pavilion itself, and they are free of charge for the exporter," said Alexei Solodov, REC vice president.
