Their responsibilities, in particular, include the development of proposals for the development of agricultural cooperation, work on the conclusion of international agreements and contracts in the field of the agro-industrial complex, establishing business contacts with representatives of government and business, as well as facilitating negotiations between Russian companies and potential partners. The formation of a network of attachés will help promote domestic agricultural products and foodstuffs to foreign markets, as well as strengthen the country’s export potential.

Representatives of the Ministry abroad were, among other things, the best graduates of the Agricultural Attaché program, which has been implemented since 2019 on the basis of the Department of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia “International agricultural markets and foreign economic activity in the agro-industrial complex” at MGIMO. According to the plan, agricultural attaches will be sent to 50 foreign countries by the end of 2022.
