Russia to start meat exports to Saudi Arabia  

 

 

"Deliveries of Russian products can begin as soon as exporters are included in the phytosanitary service of the Kingdom, which will be completed within a few days," Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement.

According to Russia Today, representatives from both countries signed veterinary and sanitary certificates for beef, poultry, lamb and goat meat, and eggs. Thus, the Russian agriculture watchdog will be able to approve exports of meat from farmers that meet all the requirements of Saudi Arabia. 

Last year, Saudi Arabia's meat imports reached in value 2.1 billion dollars, which makes the country the largest meat importer in the Middle East.
