In the first seven months of this year, Vietnam's processed vegetables and fruits imported to Russia reached 30,000 tonnes, valued more than US$ 30 million, up 13.8% in volume and 51.2% in value.

The value of processed vegetables and fruits imported from Vietnam to Russia rose sharply and had a much higher increase pace than the growth in volume thanks to a surge in import prices.

In the 7-month period, the average import price of processed fruits and vegetables from Vietnam to Russia was US$ 1,011.2 per tonne, up 32.8% over the same period in 2020.
