Russia is projected to become the world's sixth-largest instant coffee exporter in 2020, with a 60% increase in exports compared to the previous year, reaching 35,000 tons. This growth is attributed to the COVID-19-related reduction in production in other countries and the competitive advantage of the depreciated ruble. The majority of Russia's instant coffee exports are sent to Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, with growing interest in Eastern European and Chinese markets.
