Tridge summary
The Southern Hemisphere Fruit Exporters Association (SHAFFE) forecasts challenges in exporting to Russia and Ukraine due to growing difficulties. In 2020, Ukraine imported fresh fruit worth 795 million dollars, with Turkey, Ecuador, and Costa Rica being the main suppliers. SHAFFE member countries sold fruit and vegetables to Ukraine for 54 million dollars, with South Africa as the main supplier. Russia imported 643,084 tons of fruit from SHAFFE countries in the same year, a 29% increase from three years earlier. Apples, pears, and citrus fruits accounted for 80% of these exports. Due to the ongoing war, SHAFFE is planning to redirect fruit that cannot be exported to Russia and Ukraine to the European Union and the United States, potentially leading to oversupply and a negative impact on prices in Europe.
