Our products are unique: 60% of the goods presented have no domestic or foreign analogues on the Russian market, while another 40% have no analogues in the world”, TASS news agency quoted Arkhangelsk Region Governor Igor Orlov as saying.

Examples of such items are the Prirazlomnaya offshore ice-resistant stationary platform and other drilling platforms that can be installed on the shelf of the Arctic seas. The list includes foods based on medicinal plant extracts that are part of the diet of Russian astronauts working on the International Space Station. The list also includes pharmaceutical products, medical devices, cosmetics, motorized towing vehicles, and boats.
