| | | Developments in the Russian Organics Market Demand for organics increased 21 percent in Moscow from 2000 to 2005. Organic products typically account for two to five percent of supermarket sales and cost 20 to 50 percent more than their conventional equivalents.
The Russian government recently created Russia's first national organic standard, and many retailers expect a national certification process to follow. They anticipate that a national certification process would stimulate local production and demand for organic products. Retailers estimate that Russian organics will sell for about half the price of imported organics. The most promising products for Russian organic production include dairy, wild berries, game meat, mushrooms, herbs, and grain. If other countries accept Russia's standard as equivalent to their own national organic standards, Russian exports could increase.
