In 2020, instant coffee exports from Russia are projected to grow by over 60%, reaching 35 thousand tons, as per the Russian Export Center. This growth is attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the devaluation of the ruble, with the majority of exports being made by global companies that have localized production in Russia. The main importers of Russian instant coffee are Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. However, potential barriers to further growth include new taxes, control mechanisms, and bureaucratic barriers that could increase the price of the final product and reduce its competitiveness.
