The most recent group to feel the effect of such tensions? French dairy farmers and cheesemakers. Russia has imposed sanctions on $9.5 billion worth of agricultural products from the EU, the US, Norway, Australia, and Canada, meaning&nbsp;French farmers, cheesemakers, and exporters are suffering&nbsp;economic decline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The dynamics of French-Russian cheese trade has a healthy history, and has been growing ever stronger in recent years. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/08\/26\/world\/europe\/europes-farmers-feel-the-weight-of-russian-ban.html?module=Search&amp;amp;mabReward=relbias%3As%2C%7B%221%22%3A%22RI%3A7%22%7D&amp;amp;_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">The New York Times <\/a>reported that Russia typically accounts&nbsp;for 5% of all French dairy exports, and according to an article from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/2014-08-20\/no-brie-for-moscow-as-cheese-stacks-up-in-france-on-ban.html\" target=\"_blank\">Bloomberg<\/a>, 2013 showed a dramatic increase of French imports to Russia&nbsp;as residents of cosmopolitan areas become more cheese-savvy:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>French cheese exports to Russia climbed 29 percent to 49.5 million euros ($66 million) last year, beating a 4.4 percent increase in total exports to 3 billion euros. Brie shipments to Russia rose 37 percent, while sales of stronger-tasting Roquefort advanced 13 percent, Eurostat trade data show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One Jean-Charles Arnaud, a&nbsp;proprietor of Fromagerie Arnaud in Polingy, France, expressed how the Russian ban not only has cost him truckloads of quality product&nbsp;turned away at the border, but has also undone years of progress educating Russians about international cheeses. He told The New York Times:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe must have spent thousands of days doing presentations in Russian stores explaining how we make our cheese&#8230;Our cheese is not just protein and fat. It is a culture, a tradition, produced under strict conditions.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kenrapoza\/2014\/08\/18\/following-food-ban-russian-moving-on-from-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes,<\/a>&nbsp;Russia is now turning to Asia and South America, scouting countries such as China, Brazil, and Argentina for food imports.
