Since this year, the All-Russian Prize has been integrated with the national promotion program “Made in Russia”. More than 70 Altai enterprises are already participating in this program.

The event was organized by the Russian Export Center. It is worth noting that in 2026 the list of nominations was updated – now they cover most areas: from heavy industry to fashion, beauty industry and tourism. A large-scale competition is held to encourage and support the best domestic companies and individual entrepreneurs.

Thus, the company Agrocenter LLC won the nomination Exporter of the Year in the industry in the category Big Business. And the organization of PFC "Two Lines" took first place in the nomination "Beauty Industry". And she also became the winner of the all-Russian stage, second only to the manufacturer of medical and care cosmetics from the Moscow region.

Two places out of three in the nomination "Food products in the category "Big business" were taken by the Altai companies of Altai croup and Aleiskernoproduct CJSC named after S.N. Starovoitov.

“We always try to participate in such competitions in order to at least understand what results we have achieved. The result of this year is a recognition and a worthy award, said Anastasia Teplova, head of the department for foreign economic activity of PFC Two Lines.

This company currently exports products to most countries of the post-Soviet space. The company is also partially shipping to Europe, and recently entered the Iraqi market.

The manufacturer of agricultural machinery "Agrocenter" supplies products to Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Belarus - there the culture of agriculture is similar to the Altai Territory. According to Alexander Kostin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, participation in the award and the first place in its nomination in Siberia gives the company recognition of the quality of its equipment in the expert community.

“We are proud of our products, but the recognition of expert commissions is also important. For example, we do not participate in any paid competitions. The same award is held with the participation of government agencies. Here in the jury are competent specialists, designers. The victory at the district level is a recognition of our success in the expert space, added Alexander Kostin.

The second place in the SFD for Altai croup was a worthy and natural result of systematic work, the company said: “We are proud of it and consider it as an incentive to move on.”.

“We went to this result systematically, increasing supplies and expanding the geography. At the same time, competition in the nomination “Food products” among large businesses in the SFO is very high. Participation in the award is not only an assessment of our achievements, but also an opportunity to compare the course with industry leaders, see the best practices and confirm that our products meet high federal standards, said Victoria Sablina, head of the marketing department.

The company currently supplies its products to 16 countries under the Goodwill brand. The volume of supplies is growing every year – both in terms of the number of shipments and assortment.

Quality marker

Anastasia Teplova drew attention to the fact that now the name Altai is actively developing and gaining popularity as a separate brand. It is becoming more and more recognizable abroad. At the same time, the state helps exporters promote local brands and embed them in a common system of national identity to enter foreign markets. This includes the “Made in Russia” program.

According to Teplova, the products of PFC "Two Lines" compete with the goods of world manufacturers: "In foreign markets there is a request for new filling, another assortment, different from the usual, for exclusivity. Our products meet this need. Altai, Russia as markers of origin help us a lot in this.”.

With her in this matter agreed and Victoria Sablina from the company "Altai croup". She believes that participation in the Made in Russia program provides an opportunity for the company to declare itself as a reliable supplier from Siberia, confirm the quality of products at the federal level and simplify access to new markets.

“Already today we see that the presence of the “Made in Russia” sign has a positive effect on negotiations with foreign partners and helps to pass certification and adaptation procedures faster,” she said.

Victoria Sablina also added that the factor of origin plays an important role: Russia, and especially Altai, are associated with environmentally friendly products and natural raw materials. Altai buckwheat, flakes and cereals have already established themselves as premium products. And the status of "Made in Russia" reinforces that perception.

This year for participation in the “Exporter of the Year” award. Made in Russia received 1,341 applications from 76 regions of the country. From large business organizations – 299 applications, from small and medium-sized businesses – 1042 applications. According to the results of the all-Russian stage, 34 companies and individual entrepreneurs were recognized as the best exporters of the country.
