Producers from Vietnam, India, and Turkey are present. Many of our colleagues are from the Russian Federation. A number of high-level delegations from 11 regions of Russia are represented. Therefore, the exhibition traditionally enjoys success. It has not lost its relevance," he believes.
The Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food also shared the results achieved in the industry. "Based on the results of the first nine months of 2025, we have already processed milk with a growth rate of 105.9% compared to last year. Moreover, we have ensured the production of whole milk products and cheeses at accelerated rates, 110% and 108% respectively. We have ensured an increase in meat processing volumes. Moreover, in this sector, we are moving towards deep processing, increasing added value. We are focusing on sausage products, ensuring a 6% increase in production compared to the first nine months of last year. Therefore, we are growing systematically, step by step, in all sectors. We are proud that today our food products are sold in 115 countries. We are not stopping at what has been achieved. There are tasks from the head of state for deeper penetration into distant countries, including Africa and the PRC," said Alexander Yakovchits.
