In the Russian market, the Chinese are buying minerals, timber, industrial equipment, chemical products, metals and metal products. But this is not all that we supply China. About the most interesting last year, in our collection.

Fresh fish

Ice-cold fish Chinese people have bought in large quantities for a long time, and fresh fish have been tasted quite recently. In money terms, the supply of fresh and chilled fish last year increased 13 times and exceeded $ 1 million. It's not difficult to guess whose fish the Chinese are eating. The main suppliers are the Altai and Khabarovsk Territories. The Jewish Autonomous Region and the Primorsky Territory are also exported. Chinese people like to eat Russian crayfish and shellfish. Deliveries of these products last year doubled. We sold shellfish for $ 64.7 million, and mollusks - for $ 22.6 million.
In general, the export of fish and seafood from the Russian Federation to the PRC has not grown much - only by 6%. However, the total sum pleases - $ 1032 million.

Toilet paper and wallpaper

In China, the huge demand for paper products from Russia. Russian kraft paper and kraft paper are especially popular. However, the Chinese buy from us even wallpaper and toilet paper. And also - cardboard boxes, boxes, paper bags and envelopes.
