Turkey will inspect Russian producers of meat and dairy products for possibility of opening its market for Russia, Russian Deputy Minister of Economic Development Alexei Gruzdev said on the sidelines of SPIEF-2017.

"We are in constant contact with our Turkish colleagues and we are considering the expansion of trade relations, including in the sphere of agriculture. Work is underway to certify the enterprises producing both dairy and meat products. This is the standard procedure for the Rosselkhoznadzor," he said answering the question on whether Turkish counterparts plan to inspect Russian enterprises for access to the Turkish market.

Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev said earlier that lifting of the embargo on the supply of Turkish vegetables should be discussed in parallel with the abolition of Turkey’s restrictions on dairy and meat products from Russia.

The Russian-Turkish trade has been facing significant difficulties since 2016 when Russia introduced a food embargo against Turkey in response to the downing of a Russian warplane over Syria. 

Many restrictions have been recently removed in accordance with agreements reached with Russia following the results of the talks between Turkish Prime minister Binali Yildirim and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in Istanbul.

SPIEF has been held since 1997, and since 2006, it has been held under the auspices of the President of the Russian Federation.

Over the past 20 years, the forum has become a leading global platform for representatives of the business community to meet and discuss the key economic issues facing Russia, emerging markets, and the world as a whole.
