The food trade in the Baltic region: the place and role of Russia, 2013-2018

The article discusses the dynamics of export and import of food products of the Baltic region in 2013-2018. It is stated that the introduction of a ban on the import of agricultural and food products to Russia in August 2014 had a negative impact on trade and economic relations between the Russian Federation and other countries of the Baltic region. It is hoped that the crisis period in the relationship will end, and as in the days of the Hanseatic League, countries will be able to establish a dialogue and resume mutually beneficial trade relations
