Can I export soft dried jackfruit to Russia? Is there any thing I should be aware of or prepare before penetrating into Russian market? This post will answer those questions with some useful advice in establishing a business with Russian importer. Hope it helps!
1. Introduction about Russian market
The Russian market may be hard or demanding, even different in taste and habit across Russian territory.
However, this is a big market that can consume large amounts of goods, which is really attractive to importers – exporters. As a manufacturer and exporter, we have been exporting our dried fruits and nuts to Russia for several times. So there will be some requirements you should follow if you want to import products into Russia market:
Attractive price
With real incomes flat in recent years, Russian importers and consumers remain price-sensitive and will ask a lot of questions about the product/service offering. Prospective exporters need to come with convincing arguments to support a strong negotiating position.
The ruble’s declining purchasing power has made prices more expensive than they are. Therefor, Russian consumers care deeply about the cost, but still quality-concentrated. Which is why mass market brands have a chance to step in.
So if you are exporting to Russia, try to set your price as competitive as possible, but make sure your product is good enough.
Product and packaging should satisfy Russian consumers
Russian consumers taste is somewhat like China’s.
Our Russian partners/customers requirements to products are often described as ‘add more sugar to it’ or ‘make it sweeter, more flavory’, to packaging it is ‘make it a little bit more eye-catching’.
Since that is what makes their consumers satisfied, we can always try our best to modify our products.
Allow short-term to long-term debt
As the situation of Russia’s economy has worsened, importers would find suppliers that allow them to pay late. This may make exporters hesitate to do business with Russian importers since it requires trust and reputation among parties.
Besides, if your firm aren’t backed by a stable finance, you can find trouble waiting for their payment.
2. Why soft dried jackfruit is potential in selling to Russian market?
Jackfruit is tasty, useful and especially best when grown in its origin – tropical areas. Dried jackfruit not only has its amazing flavour, but also provides you with more nutrients than the same amount of fresh one.
Health benefits of jackfruit
Lower inflammation in the body
One cup of sliced jackfruit contains 22.6 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C, according to the USDA.
Men should consume 90 mg of vitamin C and women should take in 75 mg per day, according to the NIH, so just one serving of jackfruit gets you more than 20 percent of the way there. Vitamin C–rich foods can help reduce inflammation in the body, which may in turn lower your risk of chronic disease.
Promote healthy skin
The vitamin C and antioxidant content in jackfruit are beneficial in improving skin health and preventing skin problems such as aging.
Vitamin C plays a role in the production of collagen, which makes the skin look plump and smooth. Jackfruit also contains phytonutrients (lignans, isoflavones, and saponins), which can have an anti-aging effect.
Keep the heart healthy
Jackfruit also contains potassium and fiber, two nutrients that have been shown to promote a healthy heart. According to the American Heart Association, potassium helps lessen the negative effects of sodium on blood pressure. And consuming a diet rich in fiber can lower cholesterol levels and reduce blood pressure and inflammation, according to the Mayo Clinic.
