This year's latest figures show that Russia has imported a large quantity of strawberries during the month of March, which have been devoted to the local market. This volume doubles the amount imported in February 2014.
Over 5,000 tonnes of strawberries were shipped to the Russian market in March, which more than doubles the volume purchased in February, which was of 2,000 tonnes. Russia's main strawberry supplier was the European Union, which accounted for 83% of the shipments. Egypt stood second, followed in third place by China.
