APIBUZZ's colleagues warmly welcomed Mr. Victor and first took him to visit the bee medicine production line. He focused closely on the types of raw materials and the process designed for extraction and synthesis. He had a general understanding of our key products, such as fluvalinate and amitraz strips. The content covers each step from raw material preparation to solution preparation.
Victor was impressed when he observed our automated manufacturing process. We employ automated production techniques from the production of raw materials to the final products. Victor praised it frequently.
He was like, the equipment automation has greatly improved production efficiency and saved a lot of labor costs. Controlling quality from the source is the key to our long-term cooperation.
We brought Mr. Victor and his team to APIBUZZ's experimental bee farm. We recently launched a new series of organic anti-mite products. He wanted to evaluate the efficacy of our bee mite strips.
Victor personally participated in the application process of MELOXAL oxalic acid strips. A few hours later, he observed the state of the bee colony and saw Varroa mites with the naked eye. "The efficacy is far beyond what I expect," he said immediately. He felt quite confident in the afterwards cooperation because of this experimental outcome.
At the end of the visit, we discussed the needs of Russian beekeepers for anti-bee mite products. We analyzed Russia's climate factors, geographic and regional practices, and treatment preferences. In addition, we discussed how to export APUBIZZ products to Russia on a large scale. The focus was on how to obtain the registration certificate for import from the Russian Ministry of Agriculture.
In addition, APIBUZZ provides sales support, allowing dealers like Victor to promote products more efficiently. In major beekeeping regions such as Bashkortostan and Altai, beekeepers mostly gather in the form of cooperatives. Beekeepers use actual results as a criterion and have strong experience exchanges. The word-of-mouth spread of APIBUZZ bee mite control products after actual trials is extremely critical.
Victor often participates in regional beekeeping exhibitions and association annual meetings. These methods of spreading information allow more APUBUZZ products to cover Russian bee farms.
We also discussed the current difficulties in Sino-Russian trade. The United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Russia's core banks. The authorities excluded major Russian banks such as Sberbank and VTB from the SWIFT system. We cannot use the US dollar and the euro for traditional cross-border settlement.
Although we can use RMB and ruble for settlement, there are still limitations. Sanctions and energy prices severely affect the ruble exchange rate, and Chinese companies will face exchange risks.
China and Russia have established RMB clearing banks, such as Harbin Bank. However, the remittance of coverage and efficiency is still not as good as mature international systems.
The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus says change is the only constant in life. We should look for opportunities in challenges and work together to expand Sino-Russian trade.
