The Tambov region in Russia has seen a significant increase in meat exports, with the volume exceeding $ 50 million for 11 months of the year, nearly doubling the previous year. The region ranks third in Russia in meat production, supplying to 16 countries and expecting to produce over 590 thousand tons of meat by the end of the year. Other regions like Mari El, Udmurtia, and the Lipetsk region have also seen increases in livestock, poultry, and egg production. However, Russian pork producers are approaching a situation where the sale price of pigs may fall below the cost of production due to increasing feed prices and stable domestic consumption.
Additionally, an African swine fever (ASF) quarantine has been introduced at a Miratorg enterprise in the Kursk region after a new outbreak of the disease was identified.
