India more than doubles grape exports to Russia

India keeps on raising grape exports to the Russian Federation, according to the official statistics. In particular, India shipped record high 16,000 tons of grapes to Russian in the season 2012/13, 2.3 times of exports in the previous season.

An increase in exports enabled India to improve its position in Russia’s grape import geography. India became the seventh largest exporter of grapes to the Russian Federation in the season 2012/13, while a season before the country ranked just twelfth.

Besides Russia, India also actively export grapes to the EU countries, Nepal and Bangladesh.
