Earlier Report Observations

The apricot market in Russia experienced substantial growth from 2018 to 2023, with the total market volume increasing from 119 thousand tons to 176 thousand tons. This expansion was notably accelerated in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic influenced consumer behavior and supply chains, contributing to a surge in demand that pushed the market to 137 thousand tons. After a slight contraction in 2021, the market rebounded strongly in 2022 and continued to grow in 2023.

Underlying this trend, domestic production of apricots rose consistently from 66 thousand tons in 2018 to a peak of 85 thousand tons in 2022 before moderating in 2023. At the same time, imports fluctuated significantly, dropping in 2019 and 2021 but then rising sharply to over 100 thousand tons by 2023, indicating a growing reliance on foreign supply to meet domestic consumption. The overall market growth was thus driven by a combination of increasing local output and rising import volumes.
