Domestic companies’ products have already been presented on the Anuga-2021 exhibition. In 2019, 27 Russian manufacturers from 20 regions of the country participated. From October 9 to 13, visitors of the exhibition will be able to get acquainted with a variety of domestic food products and enjoy dishes of national cuisine.

Russia supplies food to 177 countries around the world and is one of the top twenty exporters of agricultural products. At the end of 2020, our country received a record revenue from its sales abroad – 30.7 billion dollars, which is 20% more than a year earlier. Russia is the largest supplier of wheat, as well as a leading exporter of barley, sunflower and rapeseed oils, frozen fish, and crustaceans. Increasing Russian organic products supplies also have a high potential. The growth of production capacities and state support for processing enterprises facilitates the shipments increase of high-value-added goods.
