Russia: Poultry and Products Annual 2014
FAS/Moscow forecasts Russian broiler production to rise to 3.4 MMT in 2015 as a result of increased grain production in 2014/2015 which should help to further lower feed prices, plus reduced competition in the domestic market as a result of a forecasted decrease in broiler imports, and reported continuation of government support measures for the poultry industry. Broiler imports are forecast to decrease slightly in 2015 and even more so in 2014 given the restrictions placed on certain traditional suppliers.In addition, FAS/Moscow forecasts Russia’s broiler exports in 2015 to fall to 15,000 MT.
