Russian meat exports will exceed 1 million tons in 2025

In 2025, Russia will export more than 1 million tons of meat worth over US$2 billion.

According to the director of the National Meat Association, Sergey Yushin, Russia will export more than one million tons of meat, worth over $2 billion, in 2025. He also pointed out that 20 years ago, imported poultry meat accounted for around 70% of the Russian market, while pork and beef accounted for 40%. Currently, Russia imports virtually no pork, while its exports will reach around 400,000 tons per year.

“This year, according to our preliminary estimates, Russia will export more than 1 million tons of meat of all kinds, including processed products and live animals, worth more than $2 billion. Russia has become the fourth largest country in the world in terms of production volume,” Yushin said.
