DocumentOther documentRussian Federation Sugar sector review
FAO Investment Centre. Country Highlights.
2014Also available in:
No results found.The Russian Federation’s sugar industry has expanded output dramatically over the past ten years. As a result, the country has steadily reduced its reliance on imports. The stimulus for this expansion can be traced back to privatization of farms and factories in the early 1990s. However, sector development started only after the government has implemented the current system of variable import duties to protect local producers from volatile world market prices starting 2004. High domestic sugar prices accelerated investment and the expansion of the sector in the Russian Federation, as local beet prices increased by more than those of alternative arable crops. With these foundations in place, the industry has been willing to invest heavily to develop the sector further, with these investments having been focussed in two areas in particular: (i) consolidation and modernization of the beet processing sector and (ii) intensify beet production and secure greater raw material supplies for their factories. -

2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
