China doubles citrus exports to Russia
According to Fruit-Inform Project's analysts, the market operators should pay much attention to China's expansion in the Russian market for citrus fruits. Chinese suppliers managed to increase their exports to the Russian Federation more than twofold in the past 4 years. Such an achievement enabled China to enter the group of six biggest exporters of citrus fruits to Russia and outstrip such important exporters as Spain, Pakistan and Israel.
Mandarins are the most popular category of Chinese citrus exports and account for more than a half of China's total exports to Russia. Grapefruits are the second major category.
More detailed information about the Russian market for imported fruits and Russia's internal fresh produce production will be presented specially for participants of the Fourth International Conference “Fruit & Vegetable Business of Russia – 2011”. The event will take place in conjunction with World Food Moscow, September 14, 2011. Official registration of the conference participants ends on September 8, 2011.
