The Sverdlovsk region saw a 2.5 times increase in the exports of flax and vegetable oil to China, with 10,606 tons of flax and 43,537 tons of oil shipped in the reporting period. In 2023, 2,447 phytosanitary certificates were issued, including 432 for flax seeds and 2,015 for oil, compared to much lower export numbers in 2022. The increased supply of Ural flax seeds and oil is driven by high demand in China, where the products are not only used for cooking but also added to feed mixtures for livestock.
