Trade between India and the countries of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) has not yet grown as expected.
Due to the factors like inadequacy of information about business opportunities, distance, language barrier, inadequate transport facility, etc., CIS region presently only constitutes less than 2 % share in India's total exports.
India's major items of export to this region are : cotton, drugs, pharmaceuticals coffee, tea tobacco machinery & instrument, processed mineral, plastic and Linoleum products gem & jewellery, transport equipment, etc.
During 2012-13, the trade between India & Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) stood at USD 11.5 billion.
To create awareness about this high potential region and to draw a roadmap on the possibilities to enhance the trade to reach USD 3,000 crore by 2020, FIEO with the support of Ministry of Commerce, Govt. of India will be organizing a Round Table Conference with Ambassadors of CIS countries at Chennai on 20th November, 2013.
Amabssadors from Embassy of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Russia, Belarus, Azerbaijan and Ukraine will be participating in the Round Table discussion
