"Our export volumes to Russia are quite small although they have been growing off a small base and making some good gains in counter seasonal supplies," said Wayne Prowse from Fresh Intelligence Consulting. "The main lines are table grapes, citrus, mangoes, cherries and nectarines. We also exported a much larger volume of Almonds last season compared to previous years."
