Amid the coronavirus pandemic, businesses in the Yaroslavl Region are developing trade via electronic platforms, becoming the first Eastern European region to create its own showcase on eBay, the regional government reports.
According to Yaroslavl Region Governor Dmitry Mironov, the region’s government is helping business people refocus toward e-commerce. In particular, the Department of Regional Development and Foreign Economic Affairs has organised webinars in which regional companies, the Russian Export Centre (REC), the regional chamber of commerce and industry, as well as Russian trade representatives abroad participate.
Webinars train regional companies to competently enter foreign platforms, properly prepare materials, and start selling via digital platforms. On 22 April, a webinar involving REC and the Russian-Singapore Business Council on working in Southeast Asian markets will take place.
Currently, Yaroslavl has put sewing machine tables, pedal boats, brake pads, children’s clothing, knitwear, restaurant kitchenware, and unmatched enamel work up on eBay. Most recently, water ionisers, earrings and jewelry, men’s cosmetics and women’s gel nail polishes and airbrushes have been put on the platform; souvenirs can also be found there.
