The imported volume of food in Russia has gone down, also from countries that aren’t boycotted, RBC News reports. According to statistics from the Centre of International Trade (CIT), the import decreased from 7 billion dollars to 3.2 billion dollars between January and April of this year.
This decrease applies to all trade partners. In addition to decreases in product groups like meat and dairy, import of fruit and vegetables from Jordan went down by 83.7%. According to the analysts, the cause is the weaker rouble, with a second possible cause being the decreasing demand for imported products in Russia.
Incidentally, there are also countries that actually saw their export increase. In the various sectors, Turkey, Pakistan and Colombia have risen to the top of most important trade partners.
