One of the participants of the discussion pointed to the fact that in Russia there are no laboratories able to issue a certificate of compliance for beekeeping products, which entrepreneurs are not able to export their honey abroad.

"The issue we have together with the Rosselkhoznadzor is in the plans. We should announce a competition for equipment before year-end and, respectively, in 2020 the plan is to introduce the first laboratory for beekeepers. Need it throughout the country. We have a total of 300 planned laboratories," said Lute.

She also noted that in the near future will open two laboratories, "to see the demand." "There (in the industry) is very limited from the point of view of demand, and the performance of large laboratories," explained Lute.

First Vice Premier, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov added that the opening of such laboratories "very important because providing international certificate for export products is one of those topics that is constantly rising entrepreneurs".

"We have a program for export support just has the necessary resources and points about how to expand the number of laboratories that have a certificate of conformity. Therefore, as a national project this is. Such laboratories will be more", — concluded Siluanov.
