OREANDA-NEWS In 2024, Russians bought a record amount of mimosa (silver acacia) — 250 tons of these flowers were imported from Abkhazia to Russia. RIA Novosti writes about this with reference to the data of the Krasnodar customs in the city of Sochi.
This year, the volume of deliveries exceeded last year's figures by 25 percent. In 2022, 200 tons of Abkhazian mimosa were delivered to Russia, and in previous years the volume of deliveries averaged 150 tons.
As specified in the department, the first batches of flowers arrived in the Russian Federation on February 2 because of the early and warm spring. The absence of frost and heavy rains allowed more mimosa to be harvested, which also affected the volume of supplies. At the moment, the mimosa season is almost over, customs officials said.
Earlier, State Duma deputy Amir Khamitov proposed to introduce partial state regulation of flower prices. He said that against the background of high demand, sellers "inflate prices to unaffordable." The parliamentarian noted that he sees a complete lack of respect for the needs of customers. As an example, Khamitov cited the situation at the Riga market in Moscow (one of the most popular places for selling flowers in the capital), where flower prices increased by 30-40 percent before March 8.
