Russia imports bananas worth $1 billion annually, and India is aiming to capture a significant share of this market. India plans to leverage the sea protocol for banana exports, established in 2023, to tap into the Russian market. The protocol was first tested with a trial shipment to the Netherlands in December 2023, followed by initial shipments to Russia in February 2024.
