Omsk region to strengthen export component

The regional authorities have started implementing the export standard developed by the federal center.

The stages of implementing the standard were discussed during a working meeting between the heads of the regional Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, business support infrastructure organizations and business associations with Natalia Minaeva, Director of the regional project at the Russian Export Center.

"Export activity is one of the priorities of the economic development of the Omsk region. To support regional companies in entering foreign markets, line ministries are actively working with export support institutions, such as the Entrepreneurship Support Fund, which operates the Export Support Center, the Omsk Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the Agency for Development and Investment. We are interested in the specifics of cooperation between the Russian Export Center and the regions, including measures to support exporters," said Anna Negoduiko, Minister of Economy of the region.

The implementation of the Regional Export Standard 2.0 in the Omsk region is planned this year as part of the national project "International Cooperation and Export". According to Natalia Minaeva, the standard is planned to be implemented in 40 regions of Russia in 2021. To do this, the REC holds dialogue platforms with the government, business communities and organizations supporting exporters.

The essence of the standard is to implement a set of measures that promote the development of export activities in the region. In particular, the expansion of business relations between companies and foreign counterparties, the promotion of Omsk enterprises' products to foreign markets, including through e-commerce channels, as well as the implementation of acceleration programs.

Nikolai Drofa, the Minister of Agriculture and Food of the region, shared that agricultural enterprises today understand the need for active trade on world markets, which will help the region develop more intensively. The head of the Ministry of Industry, Andrey Posazhennikov, agreed with this. In his opinion, the Omsk region has a significant export potential in the industrial sector.

The regional Ministry of Economy will unite joint work on the development of export trade within the framework of the implementation of the standard in the Omsk region.

During the business meeting, Natalia Minaeva visited the Omsk Region Export Support Center, met with the Center's specialists, and talked about the changes that await in the field of export support.
