Review of Agrifood Trade Policies in the Post-Soviet Countries, 2015-2016: Summary Report
The document is based on the publication “Review of Agricultural Trade Policies in former Soviet Union countries 2015-16” available in Russian. The main economic and political factors influencing the patterns of agrifood trade in the region during 2014 generally continued to have an impact in 2015 and 2016. In particular, a further slowdown in economic growth was observed in all countries during 2015. In addition, the depreciation of all the national currencies against the US dollar and the euro, which began in 2014, continued in 2015 and, in some cases, in 2016. Due to weaker national currencies and falling consumer demand, the total value of imports of agrifood products in dollar terms decreased in many countries. The decline in demand for agrifood products in the region and lower international prices also contributed to the reduction in the value of agrifood exports from the region. At the same time, the last two years have been marked by stronger integration processes affecting agrifood trade among several countries in the region.

Because of its enormous land and yield potentials, the breadbasket of the East, i.e. Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, are increasingly important for world grain markets. However, counterproductive market and trade policies, continual farm-level productivity gaps and deficits in marketing infrastructure consistently obstruct the breadbasket’s production and market potentials.

On 7 August 2014 Russia introduced restrictions on import of food products from countries of the European Union, the US, Canada, Norway and Australia (hereinafter – retaliatory sanctions) in response to their sanctions against Russia driven by political developments in the Ukraine. This step astonished a lot of people in the country and even more so abroad as at the moment of enforcing retaliatory sanctions Russia remained a large-scale importer of foodstuffs. For many years one could observe an upward trend in imports of agricultural and food products that by 2013 amounted to $43.2bn.
