Russia low high dependence on imports
Russia has a low dependence on imports for some items. This was stated by the assistant to the head of Rosselkhoznadzor Artem Daushev at the session “North-South International Transport Corridor”, which was held at KazanSummit.
“We have significantly reduced our dependence on imports. For example, if we talk about water management, then there has long been enough for consumption and export for several years in many countries. Reduced dependence on genetic generic material. Already not in the same quantity as before, we buy day-old chicks, hatching eggs,” the speaker said.
According to Daushev, work on import substitution has been carried out over the past ten years. “That is, this is not a new term that has appeared recently,” he noted.
At the same time, according to the assistant to the head of the Rosselkhoznadzor, a lot of work is satisfied depending on the choice of animal feed, vitamins, and feed rations on the market. “We are looking for alternative countries that could produce products. Something is already underway in Russia, for some positions they increased production, something began to be imported from friendly countries,” he noted.
Daushev added that cooperation with foreign countries continues in terms of effective information systems. “More than 83 thousand import certificates for the past period of 2022 alone were issued using our information systems combined with foreign information systems,” he is registered.
