Russian non-resource, non-energy exports to China reached $16.3 billion in 2020, which is 13% higher than the previous year. Russia managed to achieve this historic record despite the restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, according to the organization "National Priorities."
Russia exports a large quantity of food products to China. Particularly in demand are flour, alphabet-shaped pasta for children, granola, dietary supplements, and tinctures made from the antlers of maral deer and reindeer. In 2020, exports of beef (up 4.5 times), rapeseed, poultry, sunflower oil, and sweets increased significantly. According to the Federal Customs Service, in 2020 Russia exported over 80,000 tons of sweets to China, which is 21% more than in 2019.
"According to the targets of the national project 'International Cooperation and Export', the real growth of non-resource, non-energy exports by 2030 should be at least 70% compared to 2020. By 2024, the countries have agreed to reach a trade turnover of $200 billion," reminded the head of the Russian Export Center (REC), Veronika Nikishina. In her opinion, this requires opening new niches (for example, agricultural products could be promising) and reviving logistics routes, many of which are currently closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Of the nine agri-express routes organized by the REC together with "RZD-Logistics," only three are currently operating.
