According to TASS, the American minister noted that Moscow has achieved success in agriculture in recent years, so Washington now considers it more of a competitor than a foreign trade partner in this area.
“Russia has achieved significant success in its own production, using modern technologies.
They were wheat importers, and now they are wheat exporters.
So we see them more as competitors than trading partners in the food and agriculture sectors, ”Purdue said.
Earlier, the head of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev spoke about the situation in the country's agricultural sector.
On August 10, the TV channel "360" reported that the export of products of the agro-industrial complex has grown by 13.5% in the Moscow region since the beginning of this year.
