SKOLKOVO Business School brought together experts on logistics in agriculture of Russia
Moscow, April 19, 2019 — At the initiative of VEB.RF and the Russian Export Center, the Center for the Development of the Consumer Market of the SKOLKOVO Business School held a strategic session “Agrologistika 2019”. The topic of discussion was the creation of a unified infrastructure of agro logistics, which should promote Russian products in global markets and ensure internal food security. This work includes upgrading and increasing the capacity of the railway and port infrastructure, as well as the construction of logistics complexes.
The session was attended by Igor Shuvalov, Chairman of VEB.RF, Dmitry Patrushev, Minister of Agriculture, Oksana Lut, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Viktor Evtukhov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, Veronika Nikishina, Member of the Board (Minister) for Trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission, Andrei Slepnev, Director General of REC, representatives of business, government, and research institutes. The moderator was the president of the SKOLKOVO business school, Andrei Sharonov.
Chairperson of VEB.RF Igor Shuvalov: “We have a need for the development of market infrastructure. Our citizens should get a greater variety of quality food products at more affordable prices. Manufacturers could more efficiently deliver and sell their products both domestically and internationally. We must learn to build mutually beneficial relations both within the Eurasian Economic Union and with our other partners. Our goal is to create a globally competitive logistics infrastructure in partnership with market participants.”
Dmitry Patrushev, Minister of Agriculture of Russia: “The topic of agro logistics development is extremely relevant for solving the task set by the President to bring agricultural exports to $ 45 billion a year. We need to determine the optimal configuration of the routes by which domestic products will reach foreign markets. As practice shows, it is often easier to produce products than to deliver them to the final consumer in the right amount and quality. We suggest VEB.RF to think about joint expertise of those projects in the field of agriculture, which are planned to be implemented with the participation of development institutions.”
Andrei Slepnev, Director General of the REC: “All the fundamental proposals to support the export of Russian agricultural enterprises were included in the structure of the national project“International Cooperation and Export”. According to the forecasts of the REC, promising areas of export of agricultural products can be called "routes" from the central cities of Russia through Azerbaijan and Iran to India and from Siberia and the Far East - to China and the Asia-Pacific countries. Exports in these areas could increase by 2024 by $ 2 and $ 3.4 billion, respectively. To do this, we will need to expand the capacity of sea and railway checkpoints. The task is also to eliminate regulatory trade barriers to the access of agricultural products to target markets.”
“The most effective aggregator for the development of agro logistics may be VEB.rf. Only by combining all the capabilities of departments and all institutions, we can achieve results in such projects on a national scale,” the president of the SKOLKOVO business school, Andrei Sharonov, summarized the results of the session.
