Foreign Retail Chains Fail to Seize Control over Russian Retail Market

Written by

Foreign retail chains in Russia haven’t succeeded in replacing domestic retailers yet. According to INFOLine agency, in 2010 the share of national retail chains was as large as 77.5%. Western retailers occupied the DIY segment, where Castorama, OBI, Leroy Merlin, K-Rauta and others control almost 73% of the market. International food retail chains couldn’t raise their share in the Russian market. Among other reasons experts mention Carrefour’s and Walmart’s misadventures in Russia. Domestic retail survived due to the rapid growth of the largest food retail operators like Magnit and X5.

Only 25% of Russian Apple Juice is Produced from Domestic Apples

Written by

The average Russian consumes about 20 liters of juice annually; 10 years ago it was only 5 liters. According to the Russian union of juice producers the volume of domestic fresh produce is far from being sufficient for juice production. There are not even enough apples, which are traditionally grown and consumed in huge amounts. As a result only 25% of juice is produced using domestic fruit and vegetables. The rest is based on foreign concentrates. It is only the federal target programme which could help to support industrial horticulture. Apple gardens should be enlarged at least fourfold, and technology needs modernization.
