Russian Soy Sauce Market Depends on Import

Russian soy sauce market depends on import: domestic producers meet near the quarter of the market demand. However, the development of soy sauce manufacture in Russia is prospective, because domestic soy sauce is cheaper than imported analogues.

The volume of sales of soy sauce in Russia had been growing until 2008 and reached 19.3 thousand tons. The increase in sales was caused by the soy products boom among healthy life-style followers and vegetarians as well as by the fashion for the eastern cuisine. The volume of sales of soy sauce reduced to 17.6 thousand tons during the crisis.

According to BusinesStat, the soy sauce market in Russia will resume its growth in the short term due to the increase in the number of consumers and the volume of sales.
