Russia and Iran will sign an agreement in May on opening a green customs corridor, Russia’s Federal Customs Service Chief Andrei Belyaninov said.
"Iran solemnly promises: we’ll replace the whole of Turkey in the deliveries of perishable goods to Russia. We’ll go there in May to sign a green corridor deal," TASS cited him as saying.
The customs green corridor simplifies customs procedures and helps expedite a whole number of formalities for customs clearance and document formalization, the ministry added.
Russia intends to buy pistachio nuts, dates and grapes, as well as fruits and vegetables worth no less than $1 billion.
