Toy producers eye entering EAEU market: TPOI
Iranian toy producers have shown their interest in partaking in the 18th Moscow International Specialized Exhibition of Goods and Services for Children, said the director general of the technical-engineering services’ office of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI).
Speaking in a coordinating meeting between Iranian producers and exhibitors, Mohammadreza Karimzadeh pointed to the issue of sanctions and the lack of the presence of some toy brands in the Russian market, adding that Iranian producers of toys should make the most of the opportunity to attract customers and introduce their products to their foreign peers in the toy industry.
With the implementation of the trade agreement inked with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)’s member states, suitable grounds have been prepared for Iranian producers to showcase their latest products in the international arenas, he emphasized, reported Tasnim News Agency.
Placing special emphasis on taking advantage of the capacities of Russian department stores, Karimzadeh pointed out that this issue should be taken into serious consideration by the exhibitors.

The exhibition will kick off in Moscow on February 27, and will run through February 29, 2024.
