Bulgaria continues to lose its position in the Russian market of pears. In the first six months of 2012/13 season, this country exported to the Russian market only 10.8 tons of pears, which is 2.5 times less than in the same period of the previous season.
Besides, this volume was the smallest in the last five seasons. At the moment Bulgaria is only in seventh place in the ranking of pear suppliers at the market of the Russian Federation, while from July to December 2011, it was confidently present in the top three. It is also worth noting that Bulgaria has retained the third largest index of pears import to Russia during the last three seasons. Let us recall that for the July-December 2011 Russia imported 26.9 tons of pears from Bulgaria.
