Russia begins purchasing bananas from India

The next delivery is scheduled for the end of February this year⁠

In January 2024, India shipped its first batch of bananas to Russia. This is reported by Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS.

The result of joint work was the shipment of the first batch of bananas from India to Russia in January 2024, and the next shipment is scheduled for the end of February this year, the service said. It is noted that export volumes will increase.

According to the agency, issues related to the supply of Indian fruit to Russia were discussed with representatives of the Department of Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare of India.

The country has expressed interest in expanding supplies of bananas, mangoes, pineapples, papaya and guava to the Russian market.

The Indian side will soon send the official list of fruits to be exported to Russia to the service. In turn, Rosselkhoznadzor will notify its colleagues of the phytosanitary requirements for these products.

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), India is the world's largest producer of bananas. The country produced 33 million tonnes in 2023, followed by China with 12 million tonnes and Indonesia with 8.7 million tonnes.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
