Victoria Abramchenko commented on the risks of shortages and the possible isolation of the Russian agro-industrial complex

The Russians should not fuel artificial demand with purchases "for the future". There are no prerequisites for deficit risks in the face of external economic pressure. This is stated in the message of the Deputy Prime Minister of RUSSIA Victoria Abramchenko, published in her official TELEGRAM channel.

“We provide ourselves with basic food products and continue to expand import supplies (to saturate the market with various products and increase the range), she said. - Western sanctions will not lead to the isolation of the agro-industrial market in Russia. The world is not limited to the US and the EU. Russia opens up new markets and concludes agreements with new suppliers. We will reorient the market and establish profitable mutual trade, expand the partner network with friendly countries.”

Victoria Abramchenko also added that only in the last month and a half (from February 1, 22) ROSSELKHOZNADZOR opened the import of goods from more than 140 enterprises, including those from Turkey, India, CHINA, Republic of Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan. We are talking about the supply of dairy and MEAT products, feed and feed additives, fish products and breeding material.

The Union of Consumers of the Russian Federation opposed the restriction of retail prices for foodstuffs and consumer goods

. “Now, for example, based on the results of negotiations and taking into account the favorable epidemiological situation for bird diseases, deliveries of hatching eggs and day-old chicks from Brazil and Chile are opening,” she noted.
