The article highlights a significant increase in Russia's pig meat production over the past five years, with a 30% rise reaching 1.2 million tons more in 2019. This growth is primarily due to industrial production, contributing to a projected continued rise to 6 million tons by 2025. The Central Federal District and the Volga Federal District are the leading regions for this production. In 2020, the total pork production is expected to increase by 11.8% and 9.7% in the industrial and farm sectors respectively, marking a record high of 4.3 million tons. While pork consumption in Russia has grown by 6%, beef consumption has decreased by 2.8%. Meat consumption per capita in 2020 has reached its highest in the last 30 years at 77 kg. Furthermore, Russia achieved self-sufficiency in pork in 2019 and exports have doubled to 188 thousand tons in the first nine months of 2020, with projections to surpass 185-190 thousand tons by year-end.
