Eastern Europe is a growth market for the world-wide ‘Feed to Meat’ industry. The Russian government is investing heavily in agricultural development programmes. Many of these schemes focus on the feed and meat supply chain, and the pig and poultry sectors are high on the list of priorities.

Meat & Poultry Congress 2011
On May 17, the first day of VIV Russia, Canada Pork International will be organising its summit in the shape of a high level conference event for the pig related visitors to the exhibition. This event is especially interesting for industry stake holders and policy makers. High-ranking speakers will focus on new opportunities for the development of meat production and trade. The conference will be opened by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Mr. V.A. Zubkov and the Minister of Agriculture of Canada Mr. Gerry Ritz. As well as this, the trade fair organisers are preparing a conference which focuses on poultry and dairy.
