Russian minister of agriculture Yelena Skrynnik says Russia’s WTO accession opens new opportunities for expansion of U.S.-Russia cooperation. Speaking in Omaha, Nebraska, Skrynnik noted that the United States is one of the leading agriculture partners of Russia, and specific business proposals from America bringing much-needed investment, and modern, “green” and efficient technologies.

Already, PepsiCo, John Deere and Cargill are being introduced to the Russian agriculture market. Skrynnik says – the fact these companies seek to expand their business in Russia serves as evidence that the industry’s investment climate is becoming more attractive.

Russian Ministry of Agriculture has adopted a steep course on integrating much-needed innovative, eco-friendly, high-efficiency technologies into the sector throughout the year of 2020.
