摘要：One of the world¡¯s largest
grain importers during the
1980¡¯s, Russia is now a top
market for foreign high-value products
(known as HVP¡¯s, or ¡°valueadded¡±
products), notably from the
European Union (EU) and the
United States. The shift from bulk
commodity imports to increased
purchases of HVP¡¯s can be attributed
to the region¡¯s transition from a
state-run economy to a market-driven
one, which has affected agricultural
production, trade, and consumer
demand. That, in addition to
exporters targeting Russia with
credit, food aid, marketing programs,
and investment in wholesale
and retail market infrastructure, is
helping spur HVP imports.
