Experts note that between January and November 2025, agricultural product exports from Russia to China increased by 14%.
China currently ranks first among countries actively importing agricultural products from Russia.
In 2025 alone, total exports amounted to almost $7 billion. This is 14% higher than the same period the previous year.
This suggests significant growth.
It should also be noted that China purchases a wide range of agricultural products. It leads Russia in purchasing rapeseed oil, frozen fish, poultry and beef, oats and flax, buckwheat, and soybeans.
2025 has provided new impetus for the development of exports from Russia to China.
In particular, it is likely that by the end of last year, China will also take first place in terms of purchases of several other types of agricultural products from Russia, including peas, honey, meals, and cakes.
By the end of 2025, China will have increased its purchases of frozen fish from Russia the most. The volume of supplies increased by 44%, a very significant result.
Furthermore, rapeseed oil exports increased by 42%. Total supplies amounted to $1.2 billion. Exports of crab, peas, and flaxseed also increased.
According to specialists from Agroexport, Russia is ready to offer Chinese buyers a wide selection of products that meet all quality and safety requirements.
Furthermore, there is every reason to believe that by 2030, the total value of agricultural supplies from Russia to China could exceed $11 billion.
In addition to plant and fish products, which China is already actively purchasing, dairy exports are a promising area for development, analysts note.
In 2024, shipments of such products totaled approximately 1,100 tons, and a similar volume is expected in 2025, although this volume could also increase in the future. Exports of highly processed dairy products are also expected to increase.
It is emphasized that the governments of both countries are currently working hard to simplify the process of supplying agricultural products by eliminating unnecessary obstacles and bureaucratic barriers.
For example, we are seeing simplified customs procedures, the creation of «green corridors,» and an expansion of the list of companies that can freely engage in agricultural exports.
All of this gives reason to expect that shipment volumes from Russia to China will continue to grow in the near future.
