Russia has observed a notable increase in butter imports from Argentina and Uruguay in early 2025, as reported by the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision, known as Rosselkhoznadzor. Butter supplies from Argentina surged 5.6 times, totaling 2,000 tonnes, while imports from Uruguay doubled, reaching 1,000 tonnes.

In the broader segment of dairy products, Belarus remains a dominant supplier, providing all of the ice cream imported to Russia, amounting to 2.1 thousand tonnes since the start of 2025, along with 16.6 thousand tonnes of cottage cheese. Kazakhstan also contributed to ice cream imports with a total of 1.4 thousand tonnes.

Moreover, garlic and onion imports have seen a significant rise, increasing by 2.1 times this year to a total of 77.8 thousand tonnes. The leading suppliers of tomatoes are Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, which have supplied 30 thousand tonnes and 28.7 thousand tonnes, respectively, contributing to an overall import of 124.9 thousand tonnes of tomatoes since January.

In summary, Russia is experiencing substantial growth in its imports of butter, dairy products, onions, garlic, and tomatoes. This trend indicates a diversification of supply sources, particularly from Argentina and Uruguay for butter, and highlights the continued reliance on Belarus for dairy products. Overall, the agricultural trade landscape appears to be adapting to new dynamics in global supply chains as of 2025.
