Pig breeders will have to grow 50% of the feed themselves

In addition, they will have to completely independently carry out the slaughter of animals and the deep processing of MEAT.

For pork, self-sufficiency was achieved in 2018. In 2022, consumption rose to 4.37 million tons, according to preliminary data from the union.

But the output of pork will grow even before 2025, experts expect. By this year, the production volume will reach 6.03 million tons in live weight against 5.28 million tons in 2022.

In 2025, pig farms will be built, which received investment loans in 2018.

Industrial pork production in RUSSIA in 2023 will increase by 5-7% compared to last year. Such assessments were given by the heads of industry unions interviewed by Agrotrend.ru. At the same time, the level of profitability of pig breeding, after a sharp drop in the first half of 2022 (due to the growth of the DOLLAR and the subsequent rise in the cost of capital goods, etc.), returned to the level of 2021 in the second half of the year. In many respects, this was influenced by a decrease in prices for a key feed component - grain.
