Russian poultry production is expected to end 2012 up 10.3
percent, with slaughter weight reaching 3.5 million metric tons, according
to the country’s Ministry of Agriculture.
The increase is the result of ongoing investment in
the sector and is set to continue, said the ministry. Since 2006, more than 400
poultry facilities have either been set up or modernized. While there is still a
question over how much will be spent, in 2013 the government is expected to
invest in excess of US$9 billion in the domestic agriculture sector, including
poultry production. July poultry output rose 22 percent, to 285,000 metric tons, compared with 2011
numbers, according to Rosstat.
By 2020, poultry meat production is expected to stand at 4.5 million metric
tons, making the country almost self-sufficient.
