Agricultural producers in the Astrakhan region exported 17,3 thousand tons of potatoes during the last season, twice as much as in 2022. It should be noted that the gross potato harvest in 2023 increased by 12%, reaching 463 thousand tons. Thus, the region managed to take first place in this indicator in the Southern Federal District and fifth in Russia.
The goods sent abroad also include onions, sweet peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, white cabbage, carrots and beets. At the end of 2023, 9 thousand tons of such products were sold to other countries. The main consumers of Astrakhan vegetables are Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan.
The region is systematically increasing the sale of vegetable and melon products and potatoes on foreign markets. This is largely facilitated by the work of the North-South transport export corridor.
