Main product groups in EU imports from Russia
The EU imported a range of products from Russia in 2021, but the value of imports of energy products, including petroleum oils, natural gas, electricity and coal was higher than the value of all other products put together, accounting for 62.5 % (see Figure 1). Indeed, the value of no other product group exceeded the equivalent of 5 % of the total value of imports. This included iron and steel (4.7 %), pearls and similar products (2.9 %), wood (2.0 %), copper (1.5 %), aluminium (1.4 %), nickel, ores, slag and ash (both 1.3 %) and fertilisers (1.1 %).
In 2021, the EU imported € 89.9 billion worth of petroleum oils from Russia (see Table 1). This was much less, in terms of value, than a decade earlier (€ 143.1 billion in 2011). Over the same period, the imports of natural gas decreased from € 16.5 billion to € 17.9 billion, although with some strong annual fluctuations. Imports of coal and electricity both increased.
