China is increasing its export of apples and pears to Russia due to a decline in Russia's harvest caused by May frosts. In October, China's supply of these fruits to Russia reached $6.2 million, up from $3.9 million the previous year. From January to October, China's supply of apples and pears to Russia was $47.3 million, a 1.8 times increase from the previous year. The Russian Ministry of Agriculture has revised the apple harvest forecast several times due to the impact of the May frosts.
