World meat industry news

Over the nine months of this year, the livestock sector has maintained a positive trend in both meat and dairy products. Thus, compared to the same period last year, the production of livestock and poultry in all categories of farms increased by 3.7% to 11.23 million tons in live weight, and milk - by 1.2% to 25.3 million tons.

The highest rates are noted in pig breeding, where the volume increased by 6.2% to 4.15 million tons. The index for poultry added 4.7%, reaching 5.1 million tons.

The key factor in the development of dairy farming is the increase in the productivity of cows and the introduction of new technologies at the enterprises of the industry.

In general, the increase in indicators is facilitated by the decisions taken by the Government of the Russian Federation, including measures of customs and tariff regulation of the grain market, the extension of imports of the main feed component - soybeans and soybean meal, and at the same time limiting their export abroad. In addition, livestock breeders are provided with preferential "short" loans for the purchase of grain, meal, premixes, vitamins and amino acids, as well as preferential investment loans for the construction, reconstruction and modernization of livestock facilities, including feed mills and workshops, as well as for the purchase of equipment for them.
