Russian pork exports experienced a recovery in the second half of the year, overcoming logistics issues and stabilizing the price situation, according to Yuri Kovalev, general director of the National Union of Pork Producers. The export pattern has shifted significantly in 2022, with Southeast Asian countries contributing only 30% to the total exports, a decrease from about 50% previously. This decline has been partially balanced by a surge in pork supplies to the Eurasian Economic Union, especially to Belarus and Kazakhstan. Belarus' imports of Russian pork have doubled, reaching over 55 thousand tons in the first nine months of the year.
