OREANDA-NEWS  Producers and suppliers of fertilizers of the Leningrad region presented their capabilities to a delegation of businessmen from China, a representative of the press service of the regional administration told RIA Novosti.

According to him, this became possible thanks to the assistance of the Committee for Economic Development and Investment Activities of the Leningrad Region and the regional Agency for Economic Development. The presentation was held at the site of the regional Industrial Development Center.

During the event, local companies spoke about the experience of cooperation with China.

In addition, they declared their readiness to supply peat to China, as well as biological products for animal husbandry and agriculture.

"The People's Republic of China is the largest partner in the Leningrad Region's trade relations. Since 2018, it has been ranked first in terms of turnover. We are interested in developing cooperation and are ready to help establish direct contacts between our producers and consumers in China," said Ekaterina Pshennikova, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Economic Development and Investment Activities of the Leningrad Region.

In turn, the Chairman of the Management Board of ZhongNongFa Seed Industry Group Co., Ltd, Mr. Chen Zhangruya, noted that China is very interested in the products of companies from the Leningrad region. Peat is especially in demand as an organic way of enriching the soil, since in some areas of China the land is very hard and not suitable for agriculture.
