"We have been saying for a long time that exporters are real heroes, and we want their stories and names to be heard more often. During the contest, we learned more than 6 thousand such inspiring stories from companies from all over Russia. The title of "Exporter of the Year" is an opportunity to declare your success to the whole country. This is pride, a sign of product quality, reliability of the company and confirmation that both consumers and partners can trust it. I invite everyone to take part in the competition and declare their achievements," said Veronika Nikishina, Director General of the Russian Export Center.
