In Russia, a commission was created to develop the production of sports equipment

According to TASS, Silina noted that the members of the commission will work out, in particular, the issues of substituting the missing imports.

“The commission will assist the state program of import substitution and will take a direct part in the development of domestic production.

Now the share of Russian-made sports equipment is about 25%, foreign - 75%,” she said.

Silina stressed that if Western brands do not return to the Russian market, this will give a serious impetus to Russian manufacturers of fitness products and import substitution will take place not in ten years, but within three to five years.

It is specified that the commission included the heads of companies producing professional sports equipment.

Earlier, the president and founder of the SuperJob service, Alexei Zakharov, in an interview with NSN, commented on the departure of a number of foreign companies from Russia and the possible consequences of this event for the labor market.
