The first batch of tomatoes from Turkmenistan arrived in Russia directly by sea via the North-South International Transport Corridor (ITC) at the Olya checkpoint in Astrakhan, as reported by official Astrakhan media outlets.
This ferry trip from the port of Turkmenbashi, consisting of 40 trucks carrying fresh tomatoes, marks a significant milestone in developing maritime transportation between the two countries. Special refrigerated containers were used to preserve perishable goods, maintaining the necessary temperature throughout the journey.
This trade initiative opens up new avenues for cooperation between the two nations in the agricultural and transportation sectors.
