Russia has seen a significant increase in vegetable oil exports to China, reaching over a million tons in 2023, thanks to the innovative use of flexitanks for containerization of bulk cargo. The Europack Group of Companies, led by Valery Rudyuk, set a world record with this achievement, accounting for over 46% of Russia's vegetable oil exports to China. The company expects further growth in 2024, with plans to modernize infrastructure and increase the capacity of the Novorossiysk terminal. While railway deliveries to China are more expensive than sea transport via Novorossiysk, they are more efficient for delivering to central China. Europack is also expanding its delivery routes, including to India, where it successfully exports domestic vegetable oils in flexitanks.
