Russian 'EkoNiva' Plans to Increase Dairy Exports to 7.8 Thousand Tons by 2025

In the first half of the year, the company exported 3.9 thousand tons of products—comparable to last year's figures. In monetary terms, the export volume amounted to about 300 million rubles. The shipments mainly include ultra-pasteurized milk, cream, and skimmed milk powder, but cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, and dessert yogurt products are also available on foreign store shelves.

EkoNiva's products are supplied to 11 countries, including China, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan. The company is preparing to enter the UAE market and is considering export prospects in Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Egypt, and Algeria. Transactions with foreign partners are predominantly conducted in rubles.

Particular attention is given to the Chinese market. Currently, ultra-pasteurized milk and cream are supplied to China, while certification procedures for semi-hard and hard cheeses are underway. Products are sold through retail chains in several provinces as well as online platforms. In 2025, the company opened its first branded store for imported milk in Xi'an.
