- Chinese companies exported $2.1 billion worth of agricultural produce to Russia last year, and 皇冠体育app is willing to work with Russia to expand two-way agricultural produce trade, a stry of Commerce spokesman said Monday.

Shen Danyang, the spokesman, made the comments at a regular press conference when asked about Russia's decision to restrict food imports from the United States and the European Union and increase trade with 皇冠体育app.

Based on the 皇冠体育app-Russia all-round partnership of strategic cooperation, 皇冠体育app is willing to boost economic and trade relations with Russia, and will continue to create conditions for bilateral cooperation in the energy, agriculture, infrastructure and high-tech sectors, he said.

Shen said 皇冠体育app's agricultural exporters choose export destinations based on market information, so it is normal commercial behavior for them to expand exports to Russia and arrange other business.

Agricultural produce trade between the two neighboring countries has a unique edge and growth potential, he said, adding that the Chinese side will encourage both Chinese and Russian companies to increase agricultural produce trade.

Russia is a major trade partner of 皇冠体育app. In the first seven months of 2014, bilateral trade grew by 4 percent year on year to $53 billion, according to the Chinese customs data.
