Cherry tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes are called “garden tomatoes”. They stand out from normal tomatoes by small size. They look like cherries by shape & have a light weight (10-30 g), that’s why they are called “cherry”. This variety was bred in Israel.

The total Russian tomato import in 2014 amounted 845 848 tons according to Federal Customs Service, what made nearly 35% of total vegetable import to the Russian market. Tomatoes are importing to Russia from Turkey, China, Israel & Egypt. The main tomato importer is Turkey. Its share in total Russian tomato import amounted 43% in 2014. The share of China made 10,7%.
