The article highlights a significant increase in exports from food and processing companies in the Stavropol region, Russia, reaching almost $180 million in the first nine months of 2021, a 7% increase compared to the same period in the previous year. The exports were primarily driven by meat and dairy products, with the region being the only in Russia to export mutton to the UAE and Iraq. The government supports these exporters with various measures, including financial incentives for equipment purchases and a 25% reimbursement of transport costs.
