Conference "Export elevator of the Rostov region"

On October 17, 2019, the Commercial director of Agro Grain South LLC (part of Astra Alliance Group), Roman Litvinov, was one of the speakers at the conference "Export Elevator of the Rostov Region" as a part of the presentation of the results of the regional study "Export to SMEs: best practices and potential" of the Analytical Center "Expert South".



The following issues were raised at the event:

— What mechanisms have been created and are working to support the export activities of SMEs today?

— Which goods and services produced in the south of Russia have the greatest export prospects?

— What is preventing the export activity of SMEs today?

— What adjustments should be made to the existing export support programs?

— How to create the necessary entry points into export activities for SMEs?

— What support opportunities can SME companies in the region use today?



The development of the export direction is one of the strategic growth points for small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) today. In the conditions of growing competition in the domestic market, promising companies are studying the issue of export activity, but the degree of their involvement in export supplies is extremely low today.

The purpose of the conference was to acquaint SMEs with the available tools for organizing export activities, as well as to collect suggestions for improving the efficiency of export infrastructure.



The conference participants were heads of business associations, government officials, development institutes, universities, owners of small and medium-sized enterprises, about 100-110 people in total.
