MOSCOW. – Russian exports of agricultural produce to China rose by 42 percent between January and May this year.
In particular, there was an increase in exports of frozen fish, rapeseed oil, soya beans, crustaceans, peas, sunflower oil, pork and offal. This was reported by the website of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture.
It is noted that exports of high value-added products are becoming increasingly important. Russian manufacturers of confectionery, beverages, dairy and meat products are performing well in the Chinese market. Indeed, Russia is the largest supplier of turkey to China, the ministry emphasised.
This year’s growth in exports has continued the trend seen last year. By the end of 2025, Russian exports of agricultural produce to China had risen by 20 per cent, whilst bilateral trade had increased by 21 per cent. This was highlighted by Maksim Borovoy, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Russia, during a business mission by Russian companies – exporters of agri-industrial products – to Guangzhou, China.
Borovoy added that constructive cooperation between the relevant authorities of the two countries is helping to expand trade. Representatives of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture are currently working in 39 countries worldwide, with China remaining the only country where four representatives of the ministry are based.
According to the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, in 2018 the Chinese market opened up to 30 types of regulated goods, including poultry, beef, pork, dairy products, peas, meal, and oilcake. – tvbrics.com.
