"We have a significant increase in exports, this year we will reach 10b RUR ($ 160.76m), we are talking about more than 30 countries of the world. Now the supplies to the European Union - Germany, France, Great Britain, Poland, Hungary - are growing. The volume of supplies to China is also increasing yearly," Korchevoi said.
