The opening of the Chinese market will provide broad prospects for the development of Sibagro's export business, the company said. The company has been supplying Asian countries for a long time and already today has clients in China who are ready to receive the holding’s products. Currently, the company is already forming a supply plan and preparing the basis for establishing productive business ties with China.

“We are closely monitoring the decisions of the Russian Government and Rosselkhoznadzor regarding pork supplies to China. The signing of the protocol on December 19 is another step towards the start of exports and a confirmation of the intentions of both countries regarding the supply of pig products to China. We highly appreciate the work carried out by Rosselkhoznadzor and the Russian Government, and for our part we are doing everything necessary to obtain certification,” commented Rostislav Grigoriev, Director of the Sibagro Wholesale and Corporate Sales Department.
