As Sergei Levin noted, the close interaction of the relevant departments and businesses of the two countries, as well as the possibility of a preferential trade regime between the EAEU and Vietnam, made it possible to significantly increase the turnover of agricultural products and food. So, in the first 10 months of this year, mutual supplies increased by 12% to $796 million, according to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.

Russia is interested in increasing exports of livestock products to Vietnam, including pork, milk and fish. In addition, promising areas are an increase in the supply of grain, as well as mineral and carbonated waters, chocolate and confectionery.

The parties also discussed further steps to increase shipments of wheat from Russia to Vietnam in order to increase the level of mutual trade.
