The Russian Ministry of Agriculture is proposing a six-month ban on the export of certain types of poultry meat in order to prevent a shortage of products in the domestic market and curb rising consumer prices. Poultry meat prices have increased by over a quarter in the past year, primarily due to a decrease in production volumes and an increase in production costs. The Russian president has called for a quick response from the government to address the issue and suggested purchasing imports from neighboring countries to stabilize prices.
