In the first eight months of 2021, Belarus imported a record volume of carrots for this period in recent years. In total, 9,200 tons of carrots were imported; 4.7 times more than in the same period in 2020. Nevertheless, Belarus remained a net exporter of carrots, since exports significantly exceeded imports.
Ukraine became the main supplier of carrots to the Belarusian market and supplied about 85% of all carrots. The peak of supplies fell on June 2021, when Belarus bought 4,000 tons of carrots from Ukraine. Almost the entire volume of imports was made from April to July.
At this point in time, Ukraine still cannot supply carrots directly to Russia. Probably, Belarus helped here. 100% of the carrots exported from Belarus this year were sent to Russia. By the way, Belarus did not export a single kilogram of carrots to Ukraine and Moldova in the first eight months of 2021, unlike previous years.
