Nizhny Novgorod Region's Top Trade Buddy? China, Here's Why
The regional Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Entrepreneurship has spilled the beans — China has grabbed the top slot as Nizhny Novgorod's prime trade partner. With a market share of over 15% in the region's exports, China has taken center stage!
Here's the juicy detail. In 2024, total exports to the People's Republic of China skyrocketed by over a quarter, and non-energy non-primary exports nearly doubled! So, what's all the fuss about?
"The product roster has remained largely unchanged in the past two years. However, we've welcomed paper and cardboard into the mix," the ministry shared. Key exports from Nizhny Novgorod to China include animal or vegetable fats and oils, electrical machinery and equipment, printing industry products, optical and measuring instruments, and metal products.
Trade with China isn't slowing down anytime soon. Draft roadmaps for trade, economic, scientific, and cultural cooperation between the Nizhny Novgorod region and several Chinese provinces, including Anhui, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Chongqing for 2025-2026, are underway. This cooperation is aimed at fostering direct ties between the regions and China, providing sweet opportunities for business and cultural exchange.
Now, you might recall that the Nizhny Novgorod region has not only diversified its external economic activities but has also been pegged as one of Russia's top-performing regions in terms of economic growth[1]. It's clear that industrial and trade activity in the region is on the rise, and China seems to be eagerly hopping on board.
