　　Chaturiya pointed out that Russia will import nearly 15,000 tons of tea from China in 2020.

 

　　He said: “In general, Russia will import 1,4000-15,000 tons of tea from China every year.
In recent years, the import volume has remained stable without significant fluctuations.
According to our statistics, Russia imported 14,700 tons of tea from China in 2020, a year-on-year increase.
It has even grown.
"

 

　　When talking about tea prices, Chaturiya pointed out that the average price of imported Chinese tea has fallen last year.

 

　　He said: "The average import price of Chinese tea has dropped.
According to our estimates, the (usual) average price is 2.
83 US dollars/kg, and in 2020 the price will drop to 2.
52 US dollars/kg.
This does not mean that China’s domestic tea prices have fallen.
This shows that under the current circumstances, companies have to purchase cheap tea as much as possible.
