Since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and with it the collapse of the Russian pork industry, Russian production has been on a rocky road to recovery, and continues to grow. A recent Reuters article looks back at the developments that have happened over the last thirty years that have seen production rise from a post Soviet low of 1.5 million metric tonnes to a predicted 5.2 million in 2024, making it the fourth largest producer behind China, the EU and the US.
It’s an interesting view of the international pork market and how Russian producers are capitalising on changing geopolitical tensions.
