The export of Russian halal products increased by 82% in value, reaching $380 million in 2024 amid extending relations with the Islamic countries.
“We have set major, ambitious goals, and trade with Islamic countries plays an important role in achieving them,” said First Deputy Agriculture Minister Elena Fastova at the International Economic Forum Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum. “Last year, Russia exported halal products worth $380 million—an 82% increase compared to 2023.”
Fastova identified Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iran as the primary consumers of Russian halal products. “We are also expanding exports to Algeria, Kuwait, Jordan, and Egypt,” she added.
The 16th International Economic Forum ‘Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum’ is taking place on May 13-18 in Kazan. The main theme for this year has been defined as ‘Digitalization: New Reality and Additional Opportunities for Expanding Cooperation’.
Head of the Agroexport federal center, Ilya Ilyushin, stated that Russia has "set ambitious targets for increasing food exports to Islamic countries." He added that the volume of Russian agricultural exports to the markets of the largest Islamic countries is expected to exceed $26 billion by 2030.
“Agricultural attachés are stationed in many Islamic countries—such as Algeria, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey—with representation in over 20 countries where the population is predominantly Muslim,” he noted.
To unlock the export potential of Russian halal products, Agroexport has developed a dedicated strategy for promoting them in the Middle Eastern and North African markets, he added.
