    The Russian Agricultural Investor Network reported on June 22 that data from the Russian Federal Statistical Office showed that in 2020, Russian honey production was about 66,400 tons (a year-on-year increase of 2,800 tons), and sales were about 29,800 tons
    .
    The top five regions in terms of sales volume are the Republic of Bashkortostan (4400 tons), Rostov Region (2550 tons), Altai Krai (2400 tons), Krasnodar Territory (2300 tons) and Tatar The Republic of Stanford (nearly 1,800 tons)
    .
    Primorsky Territory is Russia's largest honey producing area (with over 6,800 tons of production), with a sales volume of 1,300 tons (ranking seventh)
    .
     
    Tula bee farm owners Ai Fute Isinbayeva said that poor sales in Russia and raised apiculture biggest problem facing the development
    .
    The demand for honey is not high, so there is no point in expanding production and developing business.
    The bee colony has been reduced from 120 to 70
    .
    Bee farmers in the Republic of Tatarstan and Orel Region also report that they cannot sell high-quality honey at reasonable prices
    .
    The purchase price of honey in Orel Region is 70-80 rubles/kg, which is actually equivalent to the price of sugar
    .
     
    According to data from the Agricultural Export Center under the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, Russia's honey production ranks among the top ten in the world, but its export volume ranks outside the forty

    S.
    dollars
    .
    One of the main reasons affecting exports is the pesticide residue in honey
    .
    Butov, chairman of the National Federation of Beekeepers of Russia, said that the above situation will have a greater impact on honey producers
    .
     
    In addition, illegal use of pesticides and improper handling have caused a large number of bees to die
    .
    Beekeepers believe that the farm should be 5 kilometers away from the beekeeping site and use low-hazard pesticides
    .
    Prior to this, Russia did not clarify the pesticide regulatory authority, and hopes that the situation will improve this year after its pesticide regulatory authority is transferred to the Russian Veterinary Plant Administration
