Miratorg ships 7,400 tonnes of pork to the Philippines, targets 11,000 tonnes in 2026

Russian agro-industrial holding Miratorg has exported about 7,400 tonnes of pork to the Philippines since the start of 2026 and expects shipments to the country to reach 11,000 tonnes by the end of the year, the company said in a statement reported by TASS and kvedomosti.ru.

“Miratorg was the first of the Russian producers to enter the Philippine market: since January about 7,400 tonnes of pork have been shipped, and by the end of the year the volume of supplies should reach 11,000 tonnes,” the statement said.

First Russian supplier on the Philippine market

The Philippines is one of the destinations Miratorg opened this year. On the company's own account, it was the first Russian meat producer to place product on that market, which in practice means it also carried the cost and the lead time of the initial veterinary and certification work.

The two figures imply an average of roughly 820 tonnes a month over the first nine months of 2026, and around 3,600 tonnes still to be shipped in the closing months of the year if the target is met. That would require a visibly faster pace in the fourth quarter than the company has run so far.

Neither Miratorg nor the reports disclosed contract prices, the cut mix behind the volumes — carcass cuts, trimmings or offal — or the names of the Philippine importers handling the product. No comparative figure for 2025 was given, consistent with the company's statement that the market was opened this year.

New destinations cleared in 2026

The Philippine ramp-up is part of a broader push into new geographies. Miratorg said that in 2026 it also began deliveries to Israel, and that it agreed veterinary certificates and plant attestations for several further destinations:

• beef to Indonesia and Iraq;
• prepared pork products to Singapore;
• beef semi-finished products to Vietnam.

For meat exporters these approvals are the gating step rather than the commercial event: a veterinary certificate and an attested plant have to be in place before a single container moves, and shipments typically follow one to two quarters later. The composition of the list is notable in itself — alongside raw beef, it includes prepared pork for Singapore and beef semi-finished products for Vietnam, categories that sit further along the processing chain than commodity cuts.

Taken together, the destinations named cover Southeast Asia and the Middle East rather than the traditional post-Soviet markets, and they cut across both pork and beef lines.

Recognition under the national export programme

Miratorg also said it had won the all-Russian “Exporter of the Year. Made in Russia” award in two categories: exporter of the year in basic agro-industrial products among large businesses, and “New Geography”. The award ceremony was held on 22 September at VDNH in Moscow.

The award was established by the government of the Russian Federation and is held annually within the national project “International Cooperation and Export”. Its organiser is the Russian Export Center, part of the VEB.RF group.

For processors and traders tracking Russian meat flows, the measurable items from the announcement are the 7,400 tonnes already delivered to the Philippines, the 11,000-tonne full-year target, and the list of newly certified destinations that has yet to convert into reported volumes. Whether the Philippine target is met will be the clearest near-term test of how quickly a newly opened market can absorb Russian pork.
