Ice Cream Production in Russia Decreases by 17.1% in January-February
In January-February 2026, ice cream production in Russia decreased by 17.1% compared to the same period last year, amounting to 58.1 thousand tons.
The decrease in production was accompanied by a more moderate reduction in consumption. In the first two months of 2026, ice cream consumption decreased by 3.5% year-on-year to 534.9 thousand tons. Thus, the production dynamics were notably weaker than consumer demand.
Ice cream stocks in manufacturers' warehouses also remained below last year's level by early March. According to analysts, the inventory amounted to 49.2 thousand tons, which is 14% less than on the same date in 2025.
