Roskachestvo and Kavkaz.RF initiated a joint initiative to establish a voluntary certification system named Made in the Caucasus. The program is designed to strengthen the consumer market in the region and help manufacturers in the North Caucasus broaden their sales reach and scale production. Certification will be performed by a body affiliated with Roskachestvo, and the Made in the Caucasus mark is intended to serve as a tangible signal of quality that can accompany products into new markets.

Producers enrolled in the Made in the Caucasus system will enter a public register and gain access to a bundle of incentives. These include the potential for parallel certification for Halal compliance and for organic and environmentally friendly product standards, along with accelerated pathways to obtain the Russian Quality Mark. The program is structured to create a more efficient route for regional products to reach nationwide shelves while maintaining strict quality benchmarks. (Source: Roskachestvo)
As a development agency, the priority is to foster an environment where local enterprises can thrive. The Caucasus region is renowned for its culinary traditions and hospitality, and the new initiative is showcasing high quality, eco-friendly goods that reflect these values. The goal is to enable consumers across the country to access proven, high-quality products from the North Caucasus, while simultaneously expanding the volume and reach of local businesses.
