Foodmate News: The Press Center of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation reported on September 24 that Russian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sergey Levin was attending a public seminar on "Agricultural Export: Certification and Standards" jointly organized by the Agricultural Export Development Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and a bank . It was pointed out that the export of Russian agricultural products in 2020 showed a positive trend, and the export volume as of September 13 increased by 15% compared with the same period last year. In order to ensure the sustainable growth of product exports and ensure that products meet the increasingly refined needs of foreign countries, great efforts must be made to promote the development of halal certification, organic certification , HACCP system certification and other related certification work.

Sergey Levin emphasized that Russia has a developed halal product market, which creates favorable conditions for expanding the halal standard certification system. At present, the overseas markets of Russian halal products include the Persian Gulf, Middle East and North African countries, etc. The future market prospects of Indonesia and Malaysia are broad.

The Russian Deputy Minister also stated that Russian organic products are also an important direction for Russian agricultural exports. Russia bans the cultivation of genetically modified crops. At present, there is a large area of idle arable land and abundant water resources. In the future, it can promote the long-term development of the organic product market by improving the certification and labeling system.

The Russian government will continue to expand and improve the corporate export opportunity disclosure system and will formulate corporate export information guidelines based on the principles of products and counterpart countries.

Officials of the Russian Federation Veterinary Plants Bureau, staff of the Russian System Certification Center, business representatives and experts in the field of international certification attended the seminar.
