Abstract: The main types of tropical fruits are bananas, pineapples, avocados, mangoes, and papaya. According to statistics from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the total global imports of these five fruits in 2019 amounted to 31.14 million tons, while in 1992 11.76 million tons, that is, increased by 2, 67 times. Bananas account for most of their physical turnover. They are predominantly grown and exported from the developing countries of the world, while their importers are developed countries. Russia has been actively involved in the international trade in tropical fruits relatively recently, but currently occupies significant positions in the world market for some of them. During the period of the USSR, certain volumes of import of bananas and pineapples were carried out during 1961-1991, as well as mangoes in 1969-1980. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the import of tropical fruits into the Russian Federation began to grow, but in the 90s of the XX century, for most of them, it was limited by the low paying capacity of the population. Subsequently, as the incomes of Russians increased, the volume of imports of tropical fruits increased significantly, reaching maximum volumes in 2011-2019. It was revealed that in 2019 our country was in third position in the global ranking in terms of physical imports of bananas, in ninth - avocado, thirteenth - mango, fourteenth - pineapple, eighty-eighth - papaya. A small part of these types of fruit and berry products imported into the territory of Russia is re-exported to neighboring states, such as Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and others.
