The Ministry of Economy has developed a project of Internet sites for the export of Russian goods abroad

The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, has developed the concept of a single Internet site for exporting Russian goods abroad and promoting them to international markets. On Friday, April 8, writes Kommersant with reference to the project of the Ministry.

A document prepared by the department called “Electronic trade as a driver in the development of small and medium -sized enterprises in domestic and foreign markets” describes the creation of a “unified exporter environment”, uniting into a system solution “promotional, logistics, information, payment, credit, insurance and other services necessary for the sale of goods through electronic trade for export and within the country.”

The concept provides for the aggregator company, which will become one window for the entry of Russian manufacturers to world markets. The Ministry of Economy gives the example of such Internet sites "Yandex.Market", "Yulmart" and Wikimart. The document stipulates that Russian sites integrate with the largest foreign electronic venues, for example, with China AliExpress and JD.COM, American EBAY Internet service and others.

The Russian Export Center (REC) will be responsible for the formation of the exporter pool. The exporters have a personal account with the functionality for the adoption and execution of orders, payment and logistics of goods, the execution of claims, etc. Money from the sale of goods, will enter the bank account for the bank’s account for the passage of currency control and payment of relevant taxes and fees. In addition, the site will be able to perform the function of a tax agent.

According to the Ministry of Economy, in Russia 5.6 million subjects of small and medium -sized enterprises, about 16 thousand of them are exporters, which is only 0.28%. The volume of Russian exports is $ 497.8 billion.

Yandex.Market, Yulmart and Wikimart have already announced the desire to become a platform for export.

Recall that Vladimir Putin proposed creating an Internet project to withdraw Russian goods to all world markets in December 2015 in his message to the Federal Assembly. He said that Russia is able to become the largest world supplier of a healthy diet, which "has long been lost among some Western manufacturers." The project was then dubbed in the media "Russian Alibaba" (by the name of the Chinese portal for ordering products Alibaba.com, Alibaba Group owns the aforementioned AliExpress website).

It should be noted that foreign companies began to think about the supply of goods from Russia, primarily food products, not for reasons of environmental friendliness, but due to the fall of the ruble, as a result of which the cost of production and the cost of Russian goods are now much lower than in Europe. Thus, the IKEA Swedish shopping network opened the production of its products in Russia, some of which will be supplied abroad, and the French chain of stores "Auchan" announced the imminent launch of deliveries to Italy 16 items of sweets and chocolate made in Russia under its own brands of retailer.

Recall also that simultaneously with the development of the Russian Alibaba project in Russia, there was a fight against purchases in foreign online stores. The adviser to the Russian president on the Internet, German Klimenko, proposed to raise the amount of duties on foreign Internet purchases and called on the Russians not to be cooked at all in Alibaba so as not to deprive the work of Russian retailers: “If you buy 36 rubles of wiring in Alibaba, you left your neighbor without work. They bought your mother without work,” he explained, ”he explained.
