MOSCOW, January 4 – RIA Novosti. The sharp increase in pork production in Russia has allowed producers to start exporting, although still only three years ago, Moscow was one of the world’s largest importers of meat, second only to Japan, news agency Bloomberg.
According to the USDA, in Russia for four years, domestic production increased by 26%, which will reduce imports by more than 80%.
The agency notes that the “revival” of pork production in Russia has led to falling prices in countries such as the USA, Germany and others.
