Almost all countries of the continent need food imports for life, since they do not have conditions for long-term storage of products, and this leads to enormous losses of available fruits and vegetables, due to constant droughts, crops are lost, and livestock production does not develop due to lack of feed. Last year, according to the State Food and Beverage Service, it was developed with 20-consistent international certificates for export and 24 certificate import animal products and products of animal origin.
