According to the General Director of the National Union of Pig Breeders,Yuri Kovalev, pork exports in the first half of the year were down 25% or about 50 thousand tons. However, exports are recovering according to the results from the last nine months.
The Union predicts that by the end of the year Russia will export about 170 thousand tons of pork products, which is slightly less than last year. The reduction in pork exports in the first half of the year was influenced by the change in market conditions associated with higher logistics costs, difficulties in making payments, and the fall in pork prices in South-East Asia.
