Russia is an enormous market for agricultural products and there is vast potential for in-creased U.S. exports to Russia. In 2011, Russia was the 5th largest importer of agricultural products in the world. Also, Russia's ac-cession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) this year will improve market access across a wide spectrum of products.
To ensure that U.S. small-and-medium sized agribusinesses are able to take advantage of these market opportunities, USDA will host a U.S.-Russia Agribusiness Trade Mission (ATM) on December 3-7, 2012 in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
This Trade Mission will highlight the following market sectors: retail/packaged foods, fruits/nuts, seafood, dairy, prepared meat and poultry, livestock production, and pet food. USDA strives to include as many companies in the ATM as possible, but participation is limited.
Contact shane.danielson@fas.usda.gov for further information.
Recruitment for the mission concludes September 14, 2012.
