OREANDA-NEWS. China plans to increase food imports from Russia, but to implement these plans, it is necessary to improve logistics. This was announced to reporters on Friday by the Chinese ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui.

“Now the products are delivered in a small volume. We need to increase the production of these goods, we need to look for opportunities to improve logistics. This is a necessary condition for increasing trade between our countries”, he said. “If we can improve the conditions of logistics, we can reduce the cost of production that will increase the competitiveness of Russian goods".

The head of the Chinese diplomatic mission drew attention to the fact that the total trade turnover between the countries continues to grow, while there are still opportunities to increase mutual trade. Today the most important task is to increase production capabilities in Russia “The market is huge in China, current production volumes cannot satisfy demand in the Chinese market. We purchase soy, wheat, meat, dairy products, butter and rugoe food. If next to China in Russia have such high-quality products, we don't need to go far".
