In 2022, 16 countries have stopped using regional products partially or completely, according to the Ministry of Economy of the Stavropol Territory. The department has observed interest from friendly countries in long-term cooperation with Stavropol manufacturers, leading to the development of promising areas and support for export-oriented enterprises. Notably, sunflower seeds worth $362.8 thousand were exported to Belarus, while significant amounts of sunflower oil, totaling nearly $4.9 million, were sent to China and Palestine for the first time.
