Moscow and Tel Aviv are planning to sign a free trade agreement in the near future, Russian Deputy Agriculture Minister Sergey Levin told journalists on Friday.
“Such decisions aim at maximizing cooperation between Russia and Israel in terms of agriculture and new technologies; creation of joint ventures, as well as the prospects of a free trade zone agreement which the government expects to sign with Israel as soon as possible,” Levin said following Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich’s meeting with Israeli businessmen.
Israel’s Minister of Agriculture Uri Ariel also expressed hopes the two countries would sign the agreement soon.
Russia plans exporting eggs and meat (particularly beef) and extending the list of exported agricultural produce as a whole, according to Levin.
He also explained Russia is a traditional grain supplier to Israel.
“We cover 17-18 percent of Israel’s imported grain, especially wheat,” said Levin.
In December, Russia and Israel announced the start of free trade zone talks. At that time, Israeli Minister Zeev Elkin said Tel Aviv wanted a free trade agreement with the EEU (Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union) as soon as possible.
According to him, Israel could boost trade with the Union by six to eight percent, while Russia would see an increase in investment and technology transfer.
The EEU is a trade bloc established in 2015 on the basis of the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. It currently has five members: Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, while Tajikistan is a prospective member.

Sounds like Israel is finding a new county to leech a living off of now that they’re almost done draining the wealth from this one.

Isn’treal and the Soviet commies have always been paying the deception game. Nothing new here really.
Good grief! Blessed Israel pacts with “Gog and Magog”! Christian Zionists must be having heart attacks by now!
You actually think their going to come to that realization? They’ve been brainwashed from cradle to grave.
