Abstract: The relevance of this problem is due to the need to identify the main trends in Russia's participation in international trade in citrus fruits in 2002-2019. In the period of the Russian Empire, citrus fruits were imported in insignificant volumes, were unknown and inaccessible to the bulk of the population. At the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, the first industrial gardens of some citrus crops appeared in the country. In the Soviet Union, the production volumes of a number of citrus fruits, such as tangerines and lemons, were gradually increasing, but their availability for an ordinary citizen of the country, primarily a city dweller, is associated with their import rates, which especially increased in the 70-80s of the last century. After the collapse of the USSR, given the emergence of new independent states, the volumes of foreign deliveries of these fruits to Russia increased. However, their growth in the 90s was limited by the declining solvency of the population. Nevertheless, in retail, grapefruits, limes, and pomelo are relatively “new” for consumers. In the period 2002-2019. The participation of the Russian Federation in the international trade in citrus fruits is mainly in their import, although there are insignificant export deliveries to some neighboring countries: Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
