Exporting lettuce to Russia

Russia is one of the world’s largest export destinations for lettuce, located in northern Eurasia. It shares land borders with 14 Asian and European countries and has maritime connections with the Bering Sea, the Sea of ​​Japan, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and the Baltic Sea. Russia’s unfavorable climate and geographical location have made it impossible for most parts of the country (especially Siberia) to farm. Therefore, Russia relies on imports from other countries to meet its agricultural needs. One of the sources from which Russia continuously imports vegetables such as lettuce is our country, Iran.
