Opportunities for imports and investment in Russia's rapidly changing raw and processed meat markets

Russia produces just 4% of the world's total meat (excluding China), yet it is the world's second largest meat importer (after the USA), with 15% of all pigmeat and 13% of all beef traded inter-regionally. In the last 5 years it has gone from being the lowest-cost importer of meat to a high price producer and importer, supplying an increasingly affluent middle class that is still willing to spend a large part of its income on animal proteins. This recent change has had a profound impact on the whole Russian meat chain, increasing  the need for importers and investors to possess up to date insight and information on raw and processed meat markets and  and the key players.

• Import and consumer markets for beef and pigmeat
• The meat companies and the route to their retail and catering clients
