Unfit-for-human-consumption meat or fish flours and greaves market in Russia

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2025, Russia's production of unfit-for-human-consumption meat or fish flours and greaves expanded significantly, rising from 529 thousand tons to 906 thousand tons. Market volume also grew, reaching 752 thousand tons in 2024, driven by increasing domestic output and a sharp rise in exports, which more than doubled over the period while imports contracted substantially.

The introduction of a unified Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in September 2021, which assigned code 2301 to these products, streamlined customs procedures and trade regulations. This change facilitated export growth and contributed to the reduction of import volumes, supporting the expansion of domestic production.

By 2024, compliance declarations for the product were registered with Rosakkreditatsiya, reinforcing quality control standards. Production peaked that year at 933 thousand tons before a moderate correction in 2025. The overall market growth was sustained by these regulatory developments and the shifting trade balance.
