Many cargo shipping companies offer transporting to Russia. The Russian market is the leader in export from Armenia and one of the most demanded directions of cargo shipping. According to statistics, over the past year - 2020, Russia was, as in previous years, the main export market from Armenia, after are coming Switzerland and China.
Exports to Russia accounted for more than 26 % of the total export volume. And how is the cargo shipping to Russia implemented?
Option 1
Cargo shipping to Russia is implemented by trucks. In the northern part of Armenia, through the Bagratashen border point, trucks first of all cross the interstate border of Armenia and Georgia, and then they pass to Russia through Lars. Fruits and vegetables exported from Armenia enter the Russian market exactly this way.
Cargo shipping by trucks in winter is associated with risks, since the Lars checkpoint is closed due to a snowfall or concerned with its danger. Due to this problem, trucks leaving Armenia for Russia are forced to stay at the checkpoint for several days or weeks.
Option 2
Cargo shipping to Russia is also provided by railway. Cargoes through the Jiliga station of the Lori Marz are delivered to Georgia - to the port of Poti, and from there by ship towards Russia.
Option 3
Cargo shipping to Russia can also be implemented by sea. Being a land country, Armenia implements cargo shipping through neighboring Georgia. Cargoes are first delivered to Poti or Batumi, then from there to Russia. This transport option is a convenient alternative when the Lars checkpoint is closed in winter.
Option 4
Cargo shipping to Russia can also be implemented by airway. This option is the most advantageous taking into consideration the time reasons, and at the same time - the most expensive. When implementing cargo shipping to Russia according to all these options, a variety of goods are exported from Armenia - from household goods to food, fruits, vegetables, clothing, alcoholic beverages, especially cognac.
Here are the top 5 cities in Russia where the most cargo is shipped - Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Samara, Yekaterinburg.
By the way, in 2020, goods totaling $ 676 million were exported from Armenia to Russia.
