FIEO | 26 Apr, 2023
A 50-member delegation of agro and food processing sector is taking part in buyers and sellers’ meetings in Moscow and St Petersburg amidst a massive push to further deepen economic ties that have grown exponentially.

FIEO signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Business Russia to promote trade and investments between the two countries. “The two organizations will cooperate to arrange exhibitions, buyers-sellers’ meetings, workshops, seminars and encourage enterprises to work in tandem with their counterparts for joint ventures,” Sahai said.

They are also exploring opportunities in diverse business ventures such as ready-to-eat meals, fish meal, animal feed, soyabean apart from conventional products,” said Mr N K Kagliwal, Board Member of FIEO, who is leading the business delegation.

Kagliwal said that we are looking to increase our agro and processed food exports from about US$ 750 Mn to over US$ 3 Bn in next 3 years.

Citing the rupee-ruble trade mechanism as “moving forward, but the pace is slow”. However, DG & CEO, FIEO is optimistic about its resolution as “exporters, importers and bankers, on both sides, have to do a little extra work to resolve it.

A direct exchange rate between rupee and ruble will help streamline the process in a big way.

Sahai said that “huge trade deficit is a concern, but it is also an opportunity to push exports exponentially. We have to diversify exports to automobiles and auto components, electronics, medical devices, solar cells, textile, food and agriculture etc.”

Who do you think will benefit more from the India - UK FTA in the long run?
 Indian businesses & consumers.
 UK businesses & consumers.
 Both will gain equally.
 The impact will be negligible for both.
