Earlier Report Observations

The Russian fresh or chilled pork market grew consistently from 2018 to 2024, with production increasing from 2.4 million tons to over 3.4 million tons. This expansion was driven by a 20% rise in pork sales over 2018-2022, supported by large agricultural enterprises that scaled up output. The shift toward chilled products enhanced consumer appeal, boosting consumption, while the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 introduced supply chain and currency challenges that did not halt overall growth.

Growth continued through 2022-2024 despite rising production costs of 15-20% due to higher grain and feed expenses, which pressured less efficient producers. Market saturation led major companies to pause new projects, yet production kept climbing, aided by increased premix output for pigs. Exports recovered by 2024 with a 9% rise to distant markets and the EAEU, and consumer prices stabilized after a peak in mid-2023, with pork's share in fresh meat consumption growing by 2 percentage points.
