According to data from the Russian Customs agency, in the first six months of 2021, the country imported a total of 117,880 tons of coffee, up 4.8 percent over the same period last year.

In particular, Vietnam is the largest coffee supplier to Russia with 36,770 tons, accounting for 31.2 percent of the market share.

However, it is hard to find Vietnam's branded coffee on the shelves of supermarket chains in Russia because about 99 percent of Vietnamese coffee imported into Russia is raw beans.

Vietnamese businesses are urged to carefully study and take advantage of the incentives of the Vietnam - EAEU FTA to better improve the exports to the Russian market in the near future.
