Russian Meat Products Hit Store Shelves in Pyongyang as Russia-North Korea Trade Expands

Russian-made food products, including meat specialties from Russia's Primorsky region, have gone on sale in several grocery stores across Pyongyang, marking another sign of expanding trade between Russia and North Korea.

Store shelves now feature a wide range of imported products, including sausages, ham, bacon, smoked meats, meat delicacies, and ready-to-cook products. Russian red caviar, chocolate, wafers, sunflower seeds, and vodka are also available to shoppers, The Caspian Post reports via TASS.

The imported goods are priced significantly higher than in Russia. A 500-gram pack of sunflower seeds sells for about $8, while 350 grams of pork loin costs around $11. A 600-gram pack of sausages is priced at approximately $12. Russian chocolate starts at $4.50 per bar, while bottles of vodka range from $15 to $150, depending on the brand and size.

Despite the premium prices, Russian products are reportedly attracting strong consumer interest, with some items selling out quickly.
