Exports of products of animal origin from Russia have been growing unevenly. Soaring exports of certain product groups is combined with fl at fi gures for others. Exports of poultry and dairy products to Chinese market started to grow simultaneously in 2019. While promotion strategies for both product groups are also the same, the growth rates for both groups diff er several times. Th e author considers the application of veterinary and sanitary measures provided for by the WTO Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures by the importing country as the main reason for the lagging dairy products exports. In accordance with the transparency provisions of the WTO agreements, the WTO System for Information Management on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures and Technical Barriers to Trade aggregates data that can be used to model the introduction of sanitary and phytosanitary measures by WTO members on individual groups of the commodity classifi cation, which allows reliable forecasting of future sanitary measures and signifi cantly reduces the external risks for exporters. Th e paper assesses building a predictive model for veterinary-sanitary measures application by World Trade Organization members in relation to dairy products using machine learning as a way to promote and predict dairy exports.

This article is devoted to assessing the state of the electronics industry in the EAEU countries, as well as promising areas of cooperation in this area. Development of the digital economy in Russia largely depends on the electronics industry. Electronics, electronic components and materials are produced in the country in insuffi cient volumes and many experts, including those from government agencies, note it. Th ere is a serious reliance on external suppliers. Integration with the EAEU partners in this direction can speed up the development of Russia’s own electronics and element base. However, cooperation at the level of government agencies has been developing very slowly due to organizational and investment problems. It is necessary to develop projects that will be commercially successful in the markets of the EAEU countries and their partners. Th e most promising partner in electronics manufacturing is Belarus. Projects related to the production of 3D printers, automotive electronics and laser equipment are considered promising in terms of market sales. Th e growth of markets for these products allows us to make favourable sales forecasts
