ABSTRACT
The paper considers the problems of exporting organic products from Russia. It has been shown that the product of wild plants is a positive direction of export growth. About a fifth of the area of all forests of the world is located in Russia. This determines the huge potential for developing non-timber forest products—wild berries, nuts, fruits, mushrooms, birch juice, etc. Consumer societies of Centrosoyuz carry out the main collection of organic products. However, only about 20–30% of the possible volumes are of commodity value. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the demand for organic products to restore natural immunity. This fact creates good prerequisites for developing Russian exports. It is necessary to develop a concept for promoting organic products in foreign markets—support measures, compensation of costs for certification, reduction of tariffs and elimination of non-tariff restrictions, development of infrastructure, and support for promotion in foreign markets. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
