Tridge summary

In 2021, Russian turkey farming experienced remarkable growth, becoming the fastest-growing livestock industry and ranking among the top five worldwide turkey meat producers.

Leading companies like Damate and Cherkizovo, with a combined industry share of 69.32%, played a significant role in this success.

Notable developments included the establishment of the National Association of Turkey Producers, which represented over 70% of the industry, and Cherkizovo's acquisitions of Tambovskaya Turkey and Krasnobor.
