Después de una de sus peores sequías en 100 años que resultó en una pérdida casi catastrófica de su cosecha de trigo, Rusia está lista para recuperar su productividad agrícola con un enfoque concertado en aprobaciones o nuevas tecnologías agrícolas.
Russia’s WTO accession opens new opportunities for expansion of US-Russia cooperation, Russian Minister of Agriculture Yelena Skrynnik said Monday.
“Certainly, the fact that Russia will soon join the WTO opens up new opportunities for investment and trade,” Skynnik stated in a written address welcoming participants of the Agribusiness Forum in Omaha, Nebraska, US. The event was organized by US Russia Business Council, a private US NGO that promotes business ties between the two countries.
In her address, Minister Skrynnik noted that the United States is one of the leading agriculture partners of Russia, and that specific business proposals from America bring much-needed investment. Modern, “green” and efficient technologies to the agriculture sector in Russia will be put on “fast-track” and receive support from the government.
“A practical outcome of this partnership is exemplified by the arrival of leading American manufacturers such as PepsiCo, John Deere and Cargill to the Russian agriculture market. The fact that these companies seek to expand their business in Russia serves as evidence that the industry’s investment climate is becoming more attractive,” Skrynnik said.
El Ministerio de Agricultura de Rusia ha adoptado un rumbo empinado en la integración de tecnologías innovadoras, ecológicas y de alta eficiencia muy necesarias en el sector durante todo el año 2020. La membresía prevista de Rusia en la OMC debería fomentar el comercio y las oportunidades de inversión en el Sector agrícola ruso.
These investment opportunities sought in the agriculture industry have some significant implications for Russia’s traditional trade partners as well, including China.
