The Bank of Russia has pointed out the decisive influence of growing demand for pork in China as a factor in the development of pig farming in Russia.
Livestock production (primarily pig breeding) is growing steadily, especially in the face of increased demand from China, a recent central bank report said.
For several years now, negotiations have been ongoing on the possibility of Russia entering the Chinese meat market. According to the Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev, they are "quite complex." The Minister does not lose optimism, expressing hope for a solution to the issue of supplies in due time. Patrushev believes that China will purchase large quantities of pork.
As for the negotiations on the supply of dairy products and poultry from the Russian Federation to China, they were completed successfully.
The number of pigs in Denmark is twice the number of people.

Sergei Mikhailov said in an interview published on Thursday at the South China Morning Post that Cherkizovo plans to ship 1-1.5 thousand tons of poultry products, mainly chicken legs, wings and drumsticks, to the Chinese market next month as a starting point. will increase rapidly to 3 thousand tons per month.
