Russian poultry production increased by a substantial 14.9% from 2008 to 2.37 million tonnes in 2009, and accounted for approximately 72% of total Russian meat production during the year.
Measures implemented by the Russian government to support the meat industry resulted in the large increase in poultry production last year, said Russia's Federal Statistics Service. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia should continue to open new livestock farms. Data from Russia's Federal Customs Service shows a substantial 19.8% year-on-year decline to US$145M in Russian poultry imports in December.
