Volga Baikal AGRO News Update on the Russian Chocolate Exports !!!

At the end of September 2021, Russia ranked tenth in the world in terms of revenue from chocolate exports, ahead of Switzerland. Such data are contained in the reports referred to by the Association of Confectionery Enterprises “Askond”.

As of September 2021, Russia exported $ 838 million worth of chocolate products in annual terms. Such data are contained in the reports of ITC Trademap and UN Comtrade. According to the same data, over the same period, the export of Swiss chocolate products amounted to $ 819 million.

Experts noted that in 2020 Russia ranked 11-th in the world ranking of exporters of chocolate products with an export volume of 295.7 thousand tons worth 729.2 million US dollars. Switzerland was in 10-th place with the result of 109.8 thousand tons for 753 million US dollars.

According to Askond estimates, in 2021, the export direction of the confectionery industry in the Russian Federation will increase by 19.1% in physical terms. The volume of deliveries of domestic sweets abroad will amount to 824.5 thousand tons in the amount of USD 1.68 billion. According to the association, these figures will be a record for the industry and will exceed the volume of exports in the pre-pandemic 2019 by 30.8%.

The Association noted that chocolate confectionery occupies a significant part in the structure of Russian exports of confectionery as a whole. As of September 2021, they accounted for more than 51.5% of sales in the last 12 months ($ 838.5 million). “The dynamics of supplies abroad allows us to assert that by the end of the year Russia will strengthen its position in the top ten world exporters of this type of sweets,” – the Askond believes.

The experts added that Russian confectionery products are supplied to 92 countries. China and the countries of the Customs Union remain the main buyers of sweets – they account for 57% of export supplies. However, exports are also growing due to sales in relatively new directions for Russian confectioners: Serbia, Brazil, Nigeria and the countries of the Middle East.

Earlier, the Agroanalytics Center published the opinion of the Rosselkhozbank Center for Industry Expertise that the export of confectionery products from the Russian Federation in 2021 could become a record.
