Abstract

ABSTRACT Russian policymakers have ambitions to become a major exporter of organic foods, capturing as much as 10% of the world’s organic market. Russia’s war with Ukraine and subsequent Western sanctions render this goal unrealistic for the foreseeable future. Aside from the war, this article examines factors that affect the growth of Russia’s organic food sector. We argue that although Russia’s organic food sector has come far in a short period of time, it is unlikely to dislodge the primacy of industrial agriculture, which remains the cornerstone of agricultural production in Russia and in other developed states. The organic food market in Russia is likely to remain a niche market, which means that Russia will remain wedded to industrial agriculture and the food it produces.

俄罗斯有机农业的问题与前景

俄罗斯决策者雄心勃勃，希望成为有机食品的主要出口国，占据世界有机食品市场10%的份额。俄罗斯与乌克兰的战争以及随后的西方制裁使得这一目标在可预见的未来变得不切实际。除了战争之外，本文还探讨了影响俄罗斯有机食品行业增长的因素。我们认为，尽管俄罗斯的有机食品部门在短时间内取得了长足的进步，但它不太可能取代工业化农业的主导地位，而工业化农业仍然是俄罗斯和其他发达国家农业生产的基石。俄罗斯的有机食品市场很可能仍然是一个利基市场，这意味着俄罗斯将继续坚持工业化农业及其生产的食品。

期刊介绍： Post-Communist Economies publishes key research and policy articles in the analysis of post-communist economies. The basic transformation in the past two decades through stabilisation, liberalisation and privatisation has been completed in virtually all of the former communist countries, but despite the dramatic changes that have taken place, the post-communist economies still form a clearly identifiable group, distinguished by the impact of the years of communist rule. Post-communist economies still present distinctive problems that make them a particular focus of research.
