The Nizhny Novgorod region increased exports of agricultural products by 18% in January-September 2019. Agricultural enterprises exported $ 190,7 million worth of food products, agricultural raw materials and breeding animals.
“One of the main tasks of the regional economy is to increase the profits of enterprises, improve the quality of products and increase the income of ordinary employees. Expanding sales markets and exporting will help develop these areas more efficiently. However, for some farms, especially small ones, it is not easy to enter foreign markets. The main difficulty is the lack of experience, knowledge, and practical skills of working abroad. It is difficult to find partners abroad. Of course, here the farmers need help from the state, including consulting. Therefore, the state provides support to enterprises, for example, this year, Nizhny Novgorod enterprises within the framework of the national project "Small and Medium Enterprises and Support of Individual Entrepreneurial Initiatives" took part in more than two dozen business missions to Europe and Asian countries, "Gleb Nikitin said.
According to the head of the region, the main direction in the export structure is the oil and fat sector, which accounts for 75% of total exports. The volumes of deliveries of flour and cereal, oilseeds, pasta, semi-finished meat products, canned vegetables, fruit and berry jams, confectionery products and other food products were increased abroad.
The regional ministry of agriculture reported that more than 40 agricultural enterprises in the region export food products and agricultural raw materials, while the number of exporting enterprises is growing and the list of products is expanding.
