African Swine Fever's spread out of Russia must be prevented

Brussels must do more to stop African Swine Fever spreading from Russia into the European Union, says Lithuania.
The country has a considerable trade with Russia in live pigs and pig products and it has asked the EU to carry out an analysis into the status of the disease in the Russian Federation and offer technical support to the relevant Russian authorities. 

Russia to up poultry, pork exports

Russia’s agriculture minister said the country wants to export 60 times more pork and poultry by 2020. Yelena Skrynnik, quoted in a Moscow Times report, said Russia is reducing reliance on meat imports and building its food security with the goal.
In February, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a new food security doctrine calling for 85 percent of all meat consumed in the country to be produced domestically within 10 years. Already one of the world’s largest meat importers, Russia could lead meat production if it builds its systems.
