Argeninian exports of apple to the Russian market reached, about 17,000 tons by May 15.
The number reflects a drop of around 50% regarding consolidated shipments until the 15 of May of last year.
Analysing private statistics shows there’s a growing concern regarding the progressive loss in the market for this species. Looking at exports on the 15 of May of 2008, just four seasons before, we realize this hard reality.
On this date of 2008, the region exported around 54,000 tons of apple to the Russian market. More than three times of what’s traded today in this important destination.
