Thailand to Increase Agricultural Exports to Russia

Russia’s one-year embargo on the import of goods from the EU and the US until August 2015 presents Thailand with a great opportunity for exporting its own agricultural and food products, in particular rice, chicken and seafood to the eastern European nation.

Chutima Bunyapraphasara, the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, said on August 28 that the Russian government is interested in ASEAN’s agricultural products, and will introduce policy to ease the access of ASEAN’s agricultural products to Russia.
