Last month"s SPVC imports to Russia dropped to 7,400 tonnes from 10,900
tonnes in July. The increased supply from domestic producers and high prices in
foreign markets were the main reasons for lower imports. Thus, overall imports
were 32,000 tonnes in January-August 2020, compared to 36,900 tonnes a year
earlier, with resin from China and the United States accounting for the main
decreased in imports.
At the same time, Russian producers managed to
increase their exports, although producers traditionally reduce their export
sales in the summer months. |
