“If we talk about Russian exports to Italy, energy raw materials still make up 42% of the total volume, but the weight of other types of products is growing,” RIA Novosti reports.

According to Terracciano, export growth is observed in the sectors of agricultural products, food, timber and metallurgy.

Earlier, NSN reported that Moscow non-resource non-energy exports to Italy in the first quarter of 2021 increased by more than two and a half times.
