The Department of Agriculture (DA) has organized a trade mission to Russia to find buyers for the country’s coconut oil, bananas and shrimps, among other agricultural commodities, in the latest bid to tap an unexplored market.

Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said on his Facebook page that Russian Ambassador to the Philippines Igor Khovaev visited his office earlier this week to finalize the agreements, which included the visit of the Philippine delegation to Moscow later this month.
