Russia: Poultry and Products Semi-annual
Despite economic challenges, FAS/Moscow forecasts 3.4 MMT of broiler production in Russia in 2015 as a result of continued demand given its competitive price when compared to other meats, and Russian meat processors increasingly using poultry meat as a raw material. FAS/Moscow has slightly decreased its import estimate for Russian broiler imports in 2015 (to 320,000 MT) given ongoing trade restrictions and the current economic situation. Russian broiler exports are also increased given 2014 trade data, and the industry’s ability to offer competitive prices with the reduced value of the Russian ruble.
