Overview and Demand Characteristics of the Russian Pear Export Market

A. Market size and consumption trends

As a large country across Eurasia, Russia has a large population base and a stable demand for fresh fruits, making it a promising destination for pear export. Especially in the long winter, the supply of local fruits is in short supply. Imported pears from other countries have become just-needed products in the market due to their durable storage and diverse taste, which creates great opportunities for pear export businesses.



According to data from the Russian Animal Plant Agency, the total amount of fruit exported to Russia in 2024 was 6.103 million tons, an increase of 2.4%. The export volume of pears to Russia is 627,400 tons, an increase of 3% from 2023 to 2024, showing an upward trend for pear export.



B. Seasonal demand pattern

Peak season: October to April of the following year is the peak period for pear export to Russia, during which the supply of local fruits is almost cut off. Exported pears fill the market gap, and prices rise by 15%–20% compared to before the peak season.



Off-season: During the summer season (June to August), local fruits such as berries and apples are on the market, resulting in a adecrease in pear export demand. However, early maturing varieties (such as Zaosu pears) can still seize the market by staggered listing.
