The analysts of “The Technology of Growth” give the figure of 1.4 million tons of fresh vegetables and herbs imported to Russia over the past year in their study “The state and the potential of the market of greenhouse vegetables and herbs in the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation.”
According to experts, the reason for such plentiful supply is clear. The Russians are becoming more concerned about their diet and health, but the greenhouses are unable to provide for year-round consumption inside the country. And this trend will continue in the near future, as consumer demand for off-season tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers and herbs keeps growing every year.
