Primorsky Krai's strawberry imports from China surge in early 2026

Primorsky Krai has seen a sharp rise in strawberry imports from China this year. In the first two and a half months of 2026, the region brought in 1,144 tons of fresh strawberries—up significantly from the same period in 2025. Each shipment has undergone strict quarantine checks before entering the market.

The latest figures show a clear increase in demand for Chinese strawberries. Last year, only 929 tons arrived in the same timeframe, making 2026's imports nearly 200 tons higher. Authorities have ensured that every batch meets Russian phytosanitary rules.

Inspections have been mandatory for all strawberry deliveries. No violations have been reported, confirming compliance with health and safety standards. However, broader data on Russia's total strawberry imports from China remains unavailable for this period.

The rise in imports suggests growing reliance on Chinese strawberries in Primorsky Krai. With all shipments passing quarantine checks, the region's supply chain remains secure. Officials continue to monitor the situation as demand climbs.
