Offering simple and working solutions... fast

Russia is a fast developing market, presenting import-export opportunities for many products and services from/to the U.S. The enormous inflows of petrodollars have helped create the new wealth, which is rapidly flowing beyond Moscow and St. Petersburg, thus creating a larger consumer market base. The demand for automotive products, household goods, healthcare, financial services, retail products, construction equipment and materials is very much on the upswing; franchise businesses in both food and non-food sectors are gaining ground; opportunities for services and equipment for infrastructure upgrades and services in power generation, mining, telecommunications, and information technologies are growing; and high energy prices are driving demand for oil and gas field equipment, chemicals, materials, technologies and services.

The currently prevailing downbeat assessment of U.S.-Russian relations overlooks or discounts the growing business and investments between the two countries. Bilateral trade volume more than doubled from 2001 through 2006, from $9 billion to $24.5 billion. American direct investment in Russia has moved well beyond the earlier concentration in the energy sector, particularly into retail trade, franchising and services. Major Russian companies have listed their shares and ADRs in London and New York (see 2006 and 2007 reports) and are beginning to make significant equity investments in the United States.

FertiKola's mission is to bring the Russian and American business communities together and help them succeed on both markets.

The following is just an outline of our main services.

Russia at the Crossroads
Russia today is far more complex than the Western media portrays it to be. It retains much of the Soviet past, but is increasingly driven by commercial forces to embrace globalisation and capitalism, and is simultaneously rediscovering its own pre-1917 religious and cultural heritage that is often at odds with both communism and capitalism.
