In addition to supplying foreign partners with finished agricultural products, Russia is increasingly focusing on selling high-tech products in this sector.
Recently, the volume of agricultural technology exports has been growing significantly, as stated by Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut.
She stated that Russia is ready to share technologies with foreign partners that will enable the creation of a complete chain for fully-fledged food production in purchasing countries.
According to analysts, agricultural technology exports will increase by approximately a third in 2025, reaching $16 billion, a significant figure.
This primarily concerns mineral fertilizers, pesticides, seeds, genetic resources, veterinary drugs, and biotech products.
All of these are essential components for an importing country to ensure high-quality domestic agricultural production.
Furthermore, Russia continues to actively export its finished products.
For example, deliveries to the Middle East increased by 15% in monetary terms. This includes products such as grain, vegetable oils, meat and milk, fish, confectionery, and other goods.
Particular attention is being paid to selling expertise in deep processing. As the Minister of Agriculture emphasized, many Russian producers are ready to invest in organizing the primary and final processing of agricultural raw materials directly in the markets of buyer countries.
The Russian Federation offers not only its own technologies but also participation in joint ventures. In particular, such projects are in demand in greenhouse vegetable growing and the dairy industry.
At the same time, the Minister emphasized, the main goal of the Russian agricultural sector is to ensure its own food security.
In this regard, we are seeing quite good results. Self-sufficiency in grain is already 170%, in fish – 123%, in milk and meat – almost 100%, and in vegetable oil – approximately 250%.
This suggests that Russia is increasingly gaining importance as a key supplier of agricultural products on the global market.
The fact that it also supplies ready-made technologies makes it an even more attractive exporter for many countries, especially those that currently see achieving self-sufficiency in key agricultural products as a national priority.
