Ukraine is the third largest exporter of frozen fruits and vegetables to Russia

According to Fruit-Inform Project, Ukraine became the third largest exporter of frozen fruits and vegetables to the Russian Federation and outstripped such suppliers as the Netherlands, Serbia and Belgium.

Notwithstanding the shares of Poland and China in Russia's total imports of frozen produce being much larger than the share of Ukraine, considerable progress in Ukraine's exports enables to say of the latter's good long-term prospects in the Russian market for frozen fruits and vegetables. Aggregate volume of Polish and Chinese exports to Russia is 30 times higher than Ukraine's exports that is indicative of high potential of further development of them under conditions of Ukrainian frozen produce to be competitive in price with Polish one and in quality with Chinese one.

We would remind you that the first fundamental study “Market for Frozen Fruits, Berries, and Vegetables of Ukraine and Russia” contains detailed information about the situation in this business of both countries. Fruit-Inform Project has conducted the study by means of its own information that enables to show the real situation in the market, which significantly differs from the official statistics.

Furthermore, you have a unique opportunity to meet with Russian purchasers of fruits and vegetables and get detailed information about present situation and development prospects of Russia's fruit and vegetable market during the Fourth International Conference “Fruit & Vegetable Business of Russia – 2011”.
