a Key factor in the increasing market of poultry meat will increase exports to countries affected by African swine fever, – in China, Vietnam, South Korea and the Philippines. The most promising markets for poultry in 2020 will be China, which is expected to experience a shortage in the next 4-5 years, where chicken feet are snapping up like hotcakes, and Mexico, where they still felt the effects of avian influenza outbreaks in early 2019. Plus for the poultry industry is the increase in the prices of the main competing product – beef.

Although the pandemic coronavirus has affected the industry: showing last year’s production record 4,976 million tons in the first quarter, it showed a decline, albeit a small 1.8 per cent. But the epidemiological situation in the country is improving every day, so our farmers have a chance to reverse the negative trend and to increase production. The more that demand will be driven by several reasons, and, in particular, thanks to affordable prices and high nutritional value of poultry meat.

In the total volume of meat production, the share of poultry production reaches 44 percent.
last year also received 45 billion eggs. Today we are fully ensured Russian chicken egg. The industry is faced with the strategic objective to increase exports of poultry products. Last year, the supply of poultry meat abroad exceeded 200 thousand tons,” – said the official.
According to the “Center Agrobaltika” of the Ministry of agriculture of the Russian Federation, even though the coronavirus, meat production in Russia this year will exceed 11 million tons (figure of 2019 is 10.5 million tons), and by 2024, maybe close to 12 million tons. In particular, the production of poultry meat could grow to 5.3 million tons.
