ANALYSIS OF RUSSIAN FOOD EXPORT DESTINATIONS
With the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions, the Russian Federation imposed retaliatory measures in the form of a food embargo, which acted as an incentive to implement import substitution policies. Russian agricultural production at an accelerated pace was forced to increase production volumes to meet the needs of the domestic market. In many areas of production, it was possible not only to meet the needs of the domestic market, but also to switch from importing products to exporting them. In the course of the study, it was found that the export of cereals, products of the flour and grain industry, fats and oils of animal and vegetable origin, fish and crustaceans, as well as sugar and confectionery products from sugar exceeds the volume of imports of products. The most progressive changes affected the export of cereals and sugar and confectionery products of their sugar. For other types of products, there is also a positive trend in the change in export volumes, since almost all types of products under study show an increase in the indicator in value terms. It was found that the trade in cereals from Russia is more focused on Turkey, Egypt and the Middle East market, and the trade in sugar and confectionery products from sugar is more focused on the countries of the former USSR, where Russian products successfully meet the needs of export markets in terms of quality, while we cannot fully compete in the European market.
