Open Data Albania is examining the foreign commercial trade of the Russian Federation based on commodity groups and trading countries. The analysis is being carried out in order to better understand which products may experience shortages in the future either in the international markets or in our country. We will also look what are the major importing countries over the last 3 years, concerning 10 main commodity groups, representing the largest share in the Russian Federation exports. At a time of embargos and sanctions, the lack of Russian exports could result in a greater risk of shortages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About 14% of Russia’s total exports move towards China, followed by the Netherlands, Germany and Turkey in second, third and fourth place. Turkey has not announced a freight embargo, same as Belarus, which is Russia’s fifth largest export partner. Other countries that have imposed sanctions on the Russian Federation are: the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States and South Korea. Kazakhstan holds the eighth place in the ranking, also a country that doesn\u2019t apply sanctions. Full list of countries<\/a> with reciprocal sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
