The TV BRICS International Media Network will support the promotion of Russian agro-industrial products in the foreign markets of BRICS+ countries. At the 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, a corresponding cooperation agreement was signed by Chairman of TV BRICS Ivan Polyakov and Director of the Federal Centre for Agricultural Export Development of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia (FSBI "Agroexport") Ilya Ilyushin.

The joint activities of the partners will aim to build a positive image of Russia’s agricultural sector in the global information space by showcasing national industry-leading companies, promoting Russian products abroad, and involving agricultural and processing enterprises in export activities.

"Media play an important role in supporting Russia’s agro-industrial complex, helping to promote products in foreign markets and form a positive image of the industry. Today we face a crucial task – to develop a global dialogue among friendly nations. "I am confident that cooperation with TV BRICS will enable us to promptly deliver all necessary information about the development of trade relations among BRICS countries to a multibillion audience," said Ilya Ilyushin, Head of the Federal Centre "Agroexport.

Ivan Polyakov, Chairman of TV BRICS, emphasised that ensuring food security and promoting the sustainable development of agriculture is one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and therefore this topic holds a priority place in the network’s agenda.

Ivan Polyakov also announced the upcoming premiere in 2025 of a new television project, "BRICS GRAIN", aimed at sustainable agricultural development, support for agricultural diplomacy, and strengthening cooperation between Russia and the countries of the Global South and East.
