China keeps on reducing apple exports to Russia
China continues to reduce apple exports to the Russian Federation, according to the official statistics.
Russia imported just 118,000 tons of Chinese apples in the season 2012/13, a decrease of 9% year-on-year. For comparison, in the season 2011/12 China's apple exports to the Russian Federation reached 129,000 tons. Over the past five years, Russia's imports of apples from China have fallen by 41%.
However, despite lower exports, China has ranked third in apple exports to Russia for the third year in a row.
We would remind you that more detailed information on the Russian and Ukrainian apple market developments will be presented at the 3rd International Conference “Apple Business of Ukraine & Russia – 2013”, which is to take place on August 15-16, 2013, Donetsk, Ukraine.
