With a population of about 145 million, Russia has a huge demand for food. Since Russia has always attached importance to heavy industry and military industry in the last century, its light industry has not been developed as it should. Compared with foreign advanced equipment, food machinery and equipment produced in Russia has always been at a technical disadvantage, and the production of these equipment in Russian factories often encounters the embarrassing situation of lack of various components. Facing the huge demand for food processing, Russia can only rely on imported food machinery and equipment. In 2017, Russia imported nearly US$2 billion in food processing and packaging equipment, accounting for 87% of imports. Although the current situation of heavy reliance on imports has improved, considering the further expansion of production in the food industry, Russia's food and packaging factories need to be further modernized and intelligent, and the technical level of Russian domestic equipment needs to be further improved. Some purchased machines and equipment also need to be upgraded and replaced in time. We believe that due to the above factors, the Russian market still has considerable demand for imported equipment in the short term. In particular, the following industries have the highest demand for equipment with high added value and environmental protection and energy conservation:
Meat and poultry processing equipment (among them, turkey processing and packaging equipment has the highest demand)
Food processing equipment for the catering industry
Grease smelting equipment
Fruit and vegetable processing and packaging equipment
Dairy Processing and Packaging Equipment
Baking equipment (for large and small bakery factories)
In
terms of import value, the food processing equipment with the largest demand in
the Russian market is meat processing machinery, accounting for 22%; followed
by pastry food machinery, accounting for 19%; candy manufacturing machinery,
accounting for 13%.
Russian food and food processing plants usually buy equipment directly from manufacturers. Large enterprises prefer new imported equipment, and small and medium-sized enterprises often purchase cheaper second-hand equipment. As we all know, most of the world-renowned food processing machinery companies are from Europe, so the import market of Russian-related equipment is almost exclusively dominated by European products, of which Germany and Italy account for the highest proportions. China is the sixth largest source of imports. At present, many food processing machinery in China are gradually approaching the level of famous European brands in terms of technical level, the equipment performance is also very stable, and the price advantage is very obvious. Many medium and small equipment in China are very cost-effective and can fully meet the needs of the Russian market. Therefore, China's food machinery has a huge growth potential in the Russian market.
