At the International Agro-Industrial Forum (MAPF-2019), Russian and foreign experts will discuss global problems of agricultural development. The plenary session of the forum will be devoted to the creation of the Russian “green brand”, the prospects for the production of organic and environmentally friendly agricultural products and the legal aspects of its regulation. In particular, it is planned to pay special attention to the issues of differentiation and legislative protection of the concepts of “eco”, “bio” and “organic”.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Gordeev, one of the main topics of discussion on the opening day of MAPF-2019 will be the harmonization of Russian and European certification systems and accreditation of organic producers. Products under the brands of leading food producers, a museum of agricultural machinery in the center of the capital, workshops and other events will clearly illustrate the breakthrough in the development of the Russian agricultural sector over the past five years.
