The EU will be seriously affected by the Russian measures, because Russia is the EU's second biggest export market for agricultural products. However, the EU is responsible for 43% of Russian imports. Last year, the EU's overall agricultural exports to the country were worth €11.3 billion and the current Russian import ban is expected to affect exports worth €5.1 billion, although specific products and regions will be more affected by the sanctions than others.

The Russian ban covers meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables. The European Commission has already respond to the Russian measures with short-term market support measures worth more than €155 million for the sectors most immediately affected, such as peaches, nectarines, vegetables, butter and cheese.
