The Chancellor of the Iran and Russia Chamber of Commerce, Assadollah Asgaroladi, blames Iranian exporters for the lack of exports of foodstuff to Russia. He evaluated Iranian exporters as weaker than their competition in packaging and the quality of their agricultural produce and believes quality standards which are among the most important factors in market developers have been underestimated by Iranians. Mr. Asgaroladi emphasized that financial constraints should not result in reduced quality of produce since if Iranian producers can secure a share in the Russian market, they can count on long-term commercial relations. This week a high-level Russian party will visit Tehran to conduct firm to firm negotiations. Although trade relations between Iran and Russia have been in recent years, there are still noticeable problems in logistics and transportation.
