Further decrease in Russia's imports of Chinese apples
According to the official statistics, the Russian Federation keeps on rapidly reducing imports of apples from China.
In the first 11 months of the current season, Russia imported record low 112,000 tonnes of Chinese apples, a decrease of 7% from the import volumes over the same period of the previous season (121,000 tonnes).
Over the past five seasons, Russia's imports of apples from China became 42% lower. However, China still remains the third largest exporter of apples to the Russian Federation.
We would remind you that more detailed information about 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.
