Russian alcohol exports surge: Shipments to India jump four-fold; vodka leads the push
According to the Russian trade newspaper “Vedomosti,” quoted by PTI, vodka led this growth surge, accounting for $760,000 of the total exports.
This dramatic increase has made India an appealing new market for Russian alcohol producers.The growth in exports to India stands out as the most significant among all importing countries.
However, India still ranks 14th among countries buying Russian spirits, making up just over 1.3 per cent of total exports by volume and about 1.4-1.5 per cent by value.Russian spirits have traditionally found stronger markets in neighboring countries.
Kazakhstan, Georgia, China, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Belarus remain the primary importers of Russian alcoholic beverages.
