Russian President Vladimir Putin promised to support domestic producers of Ivan tea. This is how he responded to the request of Alexander Khlynov, who represents this industry at the Strong Ideas for the New Times forum. The entrepreneur proposed to increase the popularity of the traditional Russian drink made from Ivan tea.
“Indeed, it is certainly more useful than some Coca-Cola, there is only chemistry,” Putin agreed.
Khlynov spoke about the potential of herbal drinks, since tea, coffee and cocoa do not grow in Russia. The entrepreneur prepared a list of proposals for the relevant departments, and the President of the country promised to quickly transfer them to the right hands.
“I promise you: today, with the appropriate resolution, this document, and I believe that this document, this is an important matter, will be sent with my resolution to the Minister of Agriculture Patrushev,” Putin said.
Khlynov said that his union of Ivan-tea producers already includes a hundred companies, and this is not the limit. In his opinion, it is necessary to recognize Ivan-chai as an agricultural product, develop a methodology for planting it and train personnel. The businessman explained that if the crop volumes were increased to 30-35%, then it would be possible to receive 100 billion rubles annually. In addition, due to the development of production, many jobs will be created.
Earlier, The Secret wrote that the Russians would be left without the original Coca-Cola. Swiss Coca-Cola HBC and its Russian customers are “in the process of running out of stock.” Once they run out, the company will no longer sell Coca-Cola Company brands in Russia.
