After almost 4 months of conflict, the disruption between Russia and Ukraine has caused international sanctions imposed by the United States, United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Japan, Australia and other countries on Russia, this has affected different sectors of the world economy. and paralyzed international chains of various products.

For Ecuador, it has had undetermined results and will influence the economy this year. Exports and imports have slowed down, mainly those related to the Eurasian market. In 2021, this market represented 6.6% (USD 1,190 million) of Ecuador's total non-oil exports. Only in the case of Russia, exports to that country totaled USD 1,000 million, being the third destination country for non-oil exports last year.

At the product level, exports to Russia were concentrated in bananas (70%); shrimp (14%); and flowers (10%).
