Between January and November 2019, Russia imported 118 bln RUB worth of APIs (customs clearance prices, VAT included), which is in monetary terms (rubles) 35.6% higher than that of the same period in 2018.

Between January and November 2019, Russia imported 33.1 bln RUB worth of veterinary drugs (customs clearance prices, VAT included), which is surprisingly higher than the import of feed supplements (32.5 bln RUB). The reason lies both in the sudden growth of veterinary drug imports (+41.7% in rubles) and the significant drop in feed supplement imports (-7.7%). The import of veterinary APIs still has the highest dynamics among the veterinary product imports (+66.3% and 2.9 bln RUB).
