The meatpacking industry in Russia is experiencing rapid growth, with meat sales increasing by 3.8% and sausage products by 4.4% in 2023. Beef sales have overtaken turkey, and pork demand is also on the rise. Despite an increase in meat production, meeting demand remains a challenge. Poultry production is expected to decrease by 1-2% due to zero duties on chicken imports in 2024, but overall meat consumption is projected to increase by 3%. Russia's meat exports grew by 22% in 2023, and pig farmers are optimistic about further growth in 2024, especially with the potential opening of the Chinese market.
