In 2024, Russian pasta exports experienced a significant boost, with a 31% increase compared to the previous year, reaching a value of nearly $150 million and volume of about 115 thousand tons. The majority of these exports were made to CIS countries, particularly Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Additionally, there was growth in exports to non-CIS countries such as China, Mongolia, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. By 2030, pasta exports are projected to reach almost $250 million, with a focus on both traditional and new markets. Companies like Makfa and Mareven Food Central are playing a key role in this growth, expanding into new markets such as Qatar, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Ghana, Oman, Thailand, the United States, and Israel.
