Italy has increased the export of refrigerators to Russia, the Chamber of Commerce said
Italy began to supply more food processing equipment and refrigerators to Russia, despite the general decline in exports in this industry, Ferdinando Pelazzo, head of the Italian-Russian Chamber of Commerce (IRTP), told RIA Novosti.
He said that the export of equipment from Italy to Russia continues to fall, as this category of goods has many components that may fall under sanctions or are dual-use goods.
"But we see that the export of food processing equipment and refrigerators is starting to grow, despite the general decline. Italians are starting to sell more than before. It is clear that this is a typical Italian business, but this is already a good signal that somehow exports from Italy are being resuscitated," said Pelazzo.
The head of the IRTP stressed that the export of these categories is growing with full compliance with the sanctions, "everything is transparent and legal."
