The Ministry of Agriculture in Russia said that in the first nine months of 2020, Russia exported 254,800 tons of potatoes (both table and seed), almost 36% more than in the same period last year.
The main importers of Russia’s seed potatoes are Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Turkmenistan, and Belarus.
Potato imports are declining, but they still exceed Russian potato exports. Over the first nine months of 2020, 293,400 tons were imported into Russia.
