"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.

Another product from New Zealand, onions, has not been exported directly to Russia in the last 15 seasons approximately, there was a couple of attempts prior to this. Martin Tribe from NZ Growers said that NZ can't compete on the Russian market with onions.
