He recalled that over the past 20 years, meat production in the world has grown by 45%, including in Russia by 150%. Consumption of this product in the world will continue to grow at a good pace. According to FAO forecasts, in 10 years it is necessary to increase the production of this product by 40 million tons, while currently 360 million tons of meat are produced in the world.

At the same time, it is already obvious that farmers in developed countries will reduce livestock numbers as part of the “green” agenda, noted Sergei Yushin.

“It would seem that the gates have opened and it’s time to make money,” he commented.

However, there is a problem. On the one hand, given the forage base and land resources, Russia can easily double meat production. On the other hand, the country lacks specialists who can help raise livestock. "The share of automation in the industry is high, but we still need specialists at many technological stages," he explained.

"Competition between the agro-industrial complex and other industries, such as mechanical engineering, is becoming catastrophic. This is exposing our production," noted Sergei Yushin.

"I don't want to give advice to the government. But I would like to suggest thinking about the fact that it might be worthwhile to identify the most priority sectors of the economy for development and to train personnel specifically for them," concluded Sergei Yushin.
