Russia Expands Trade Efforts in Africa in Response to Western Sanctions

in Global Trade, Trade Policies

In the face of expanding sanctions from the United States and the European Union, Russia has been diversifying its trade efforts towards Africa. This shift in focus comes as a reaction to the sanctions which are a result of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine, neighboring former Soviet republics, have been at odds, particularly over Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO and the EU. The conflict, which began on February 24, has led to Russia seeking new trade partners and expanding its trade missions in Africa, as stated by Vladimir Padalko, Vice President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

A meeting at the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry on March 4 focused on intensifying import-export trade with Africa and supporting Russian businesses in entering African markets. This meeting revisited commitments made at the first Russia-Africa summit in Sochi in 2019. Padalko announced plans to expand Russia’s trade mission network in Africa, in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Foreign Ministry, and the Economic Development Ministry. Russia currently has trade missions in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, and South Africa. The Russian expert community has expressed interest in diversifying imports from Europe to include African products such as fruits, tea, and coffee. Alexander Dianov from the Ministry of Economic Development highlighted the need for improved infrastructure to support Russian businesses in Africa, especially in regions beyond North Africa.

Senator Igor Morozov, Head of the Coordinating Committee on Economic Cooperation with Africa (AfroCom), emphasized the importance of developing new markets for Russia’s economy, particularly in Africa. He noted the potential for expanding the involvement of small and medium-sized businesses in sectors such as transport, agricultural machinery, and IT. Morozov also acknowledged the competitive presence of other global players in Africa, such as China, India, the US, and the EU. Polina Slyusarchuk, Head of Intexpertise, a St. Petersburg-based consultancy focusing on Africa, highlighted the need for Russia to develop a long-term strategy for its African ventures, especially in the context of current global geopolitical tensions and sanctions.

Dr. Chtatou Mohamed, a professor at the International University of Rabat, discussed the geo-economic significance of the Arab countries in North Africa as gateways to the African market. He pointed out the growing interest in Russian-African cooperation, particularly in sectors like agro-industry and education. Participants in the early March discussion identified several barriers to Russia-African economic cooperation, including high import duties, complicated certification procedures, and logistical challenges. They agreed on the need for a comprehensive strategy to enhance Russia’s engagement with Africa. The Russian government, as part of its response to the sanctions, has also implemented measures restricting the import and export of certain products and raw materials. These measures are aimed at ensuring Russia’s security and the uninterrupted operation of its agriculture and industry.

President Putin and Senegalese President Macky Sall, Chair of the African Union, discussed the development of ties between Moscow and Africa, emphasizing the importance of implementing agreements from the 2019 Sochi summit and further developing economic relations. The preparations for the next Russia-Africa summit are underway, with the aim of building on the foundations laid in the 2019 summit and expanding economic cooperation between Russia and African nations.
