Despite a slight decrease in Russia’s total grape imports in the season 2012/13, Italy managed to export more grapes to the Russian Federation.
Italy’s grape exports to Russia rose by 60% year-on-year and amounted to 16,000 tons, the highest result over the past 5 seasons.
An increase in exports enabled Italy to improve its position in Russia’s grape import geography. In the season 2012/13 Italy ranked eighth, while a season before the country was the tenth largest exporter of grapes to Russia.
