Russia and APEC countries: strengthening cooperation in the agricultural sector

Food Security and Loss Reduction

The main topic of the meeting was the reduction of food losses and waste. Deputy Minister of Agriculture of RUSSIA Sergey Levin, who headed the delegation, noted that APEC provides a unique platform for exchanging experiences and developing joint solutions to overcome these problems. Food security in the context of growing demand for food requires active cooperation and the introduction of innovative technologies from participating countries.

Positive dynamics of trade turnover

Russia demonstrates positive dynamics of trade turnover with APEC countries. This is due to a number of factors, including the expansion of the range of exported goods and the improvement of product quality. In recent years, Russian farmers have been actively developing new markets, offering competitive products such as grain, MEAT , dairy products and fish products . An important aspect is also the development of logistics infrastructure, which allows for more efficient delivery of goods to the end consumer.

Government support measures

Sergey Levin emphasized that Russia is implementing government support measures aimed at reducing food losses. One of the priorities is the technical re-equipment of food and processing industry enterprises. This not only improves the quality of products, but also increases their competitiveness in the international arena.

Waste-free production

Russia is actively developing the concept of waste-free agricultural production. The use of by-products such as cakes, meals, pulp and molasses as feed and food ingredients, as well as raw materials for deep processing, helps minimize waste and increase production efficiency. This not only contributes to sustainable development, but also meets modern requirements for ecology and rational use of resources.

Bilateral meetings and cooperation

As part of the meeting in Peru, Sergey Levin held bilateral working meetings with the Ministers of Agriculture of Peru and Malaysia. These negotiations became an important step towards strengthening bilateral relations and exchanging experience in the agro-industrial complex. The parties discussed the possibilities of joint projects aimed at developing agriculture, improving food security and introducing innovations.

Strengthening Russia's cooperation with APEC countries in the agro-industrial complex is an important step towards ensuring food security and sustainable development in the region. Joint efforts of the participating countries will help not only reduce food losses, but also create effective agro-food systems capable of responding to modern challenges. it is important that Russia actively participates in this process, offering its solutions and experience, which, of course, contributes to the development of both the domestic and international agricultural sectors.
