COUNTRY:MEXICO.  

Representatives of the Russian Embassy in Mexico met with business leaders in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, on 6 November to explore trade, economic and cultural exchange opportunities. The delegation included Ekaterina Filitsina, representative of Russia’s Ministry of Agriculture in Mexico, and Dmitry Kozlov, representative of the Ministry of Economy.

Filitsina stated that Russia is examining “all possibilities for mutual collaboration, both in the agricultural sphere and in technology,” with the primary aim of gaining an understanding of Sinaloa’s business sector. Kozlov noted that Russia is seeking to strengthen commercial ties with Mexico and increase trade with Sinaloa companies.

“Mexico is very strong in exporting food, agricultural products, machinery and medical equipment, and we are confident this list can be expanded”.— Dmitry Kozlov.

A key point raised during the meeting was that approximately one-third of fertilizers imported by Mexico originate from Russia, alongside cereals and other agricultural inputs. Mexico exports fruits, berries, beer, mezcal and tequila to the Russian market. The meeting represents the first direct engagement between Russian embassy representatives and Sinaloa’s business community, opening the way to concrete cooperation projects in agriculture, agro-industry and technology.
