“Demand and prices for meat from the world market are growing at a higher rate than its production,” Ramazanov said. - This makes the export of certain types of meat, primarily beef, more attractive for Russian producers than meeting the needs of the domestic market. The total volume of meat production in the Russian Federation has a positive trend, and by the beginning of 2021 reached the level of 1990, and the average annual growth rate in recent years was 4%. "

At the same time, as Ramazanov explained, the growth in production was mainly due to the rapid increase in the production of poultry and pork.
