In 2020, Galaktika Group, the leading dairy producer in the North-West region of Russia, saw a four-fold increase in dairy exports to China compared to 2019. The company's goal is to reach $1 million in exports to China in 2021. The company has been accredited to export to China since January 2019 and has faced challenges due to the need to amend CIFER for all dairy product suppliers. The main products exported to China are shelf-stable milk and ice cream milkshakes, with the Bolshaya Kruzhka brand being particularly popular. China ranked as the 13th largest importer of Russian dairy products in 2020, with volumes increasing by 22% compared to the previous year.
