"Of course, the idea of creating a network of attachés in the agro-industry is relevant, to take our example. The project to create the Omsk Trade House in Manchuria confirmed its relevance. Today, several dozen Omsk manufacturers have received a channel to promote their products to China. We, together with the Government of Omsk region and the Administration of Omsk City, our Chinese partners, are working to create a network of trading houses of Omsk region in China. Now we have a partner in India - Crescendo Worldwide, we are jointly studying the demand of the Indian market for our products. It is important that the attachés in the agro-industry are connected with regional branch organizations, mobile and possess the specificity of regional markets."
