Russia is interested in entering the beef and dairy market of India as well as in removing barriers for the export of Russian grain. This is stated in the message of the Rosselkhoznadzor following a meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Commerce and industry of the government of India.

"An important issue for Russia was raised on the opening of the Indian market for the supply of Russian animal products, as well as the removal of unreasonable barriers to the export of grain and grain products, discussed the day before by the Deputy Minister of agriculture of Russia Yevgeny Gromyko in Delhi," the Rosselkhoznadzor said.

In particular, there is a high import duty for grain exporters in India. In addition, for supplies necessary to carry out the disinfection with methyl bromide. However, the use of methyl bromide in Russia is limited, so the Russian side is discussing with India the possibility of replacing this fumigant with an alternative.

At the same time, Russian plants and laboratories "are ready to carry out the previously agreed inspection and can confirm compliance with all safety requirements for grain products", the Rosselkhoznadzor stressed.
