What does Russia export?

Russia's own tracked-export mix

Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Russia's own $249.3 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Crude oil alone is 50% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Russia compares with other countries.

Russia in the pattern reports

What the cross-commodity reports under Patterns say about Russia, computed from the same data as this page.

What Russia uses

Russia had about 145 million people and a food supply of 3,528 kilocalories per person a day in FAO's 2023 food balance sheets. Its eight largest supplies among the commodities tracked there:

FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets. Per-person rank counts countries of at least 1 million people. See consumption and self-sufficiency.

Who supplies Russia

• Single-supplier markets. Russia buys half or more of its imports from one country in 9 of 15 import markets of $250 million or more, among them palm oil from Indonesia (65%, $832 million); bananas from Ecuador (97%, $625 million); soybeans from Brazil (80%, $604 million); steel from Kazakhstan (96%, $475 million); beef from Brazil (57%, $460 million); iron ore from Kazakhstan (100%, $380 million). Import dependency.

How long Russia's own reserves would last

• Antimony: Russia's reserves are about 11 years of its own output at the current rate (29% of world output, 15% of world reserves), against 22 years for the world.
• Potash: Russia's reserves are about 200 years of its own output at the current rate (20% of world output, 34% of world reserves), against 121 years for the world.
• Vanadium: Russia's reserves are about 238 years of its own output at the current rate (19% of world output, 23% of world reserves), against 189 years for the world.
• Gold: Russia's reserves are about 39 years of its own output at the current rate (9.4% of world output, 18% of world reserves), against 20 years for the world.
• Lead: Russia's reserves are about 34 years of its own output at the current rate (5.8% of world output, 9.4% of world reserves), against 21 years for the world.
