Russia is on track to secure market access for poultry meat exports to Malaysia, according to the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor).
Authorities from both countries have finalized a veterinary certificate covering the export of chicken and turkey meat, and related byproducts from Russian slaughter and processing facilities. A protocol outlining compliance requirements has also been agreed upon.
Malaysian specialists will soon conduct inspections of Russian producers aiming to supply the Malaysian market. Once approved, this move could unlock new export opportunities for Russian poultry in Southeast Asia.
Production and exports
Russia has seen a steady increase in poultry production, driven by high domestic demand and ample feed supplies. In 2023, Russia exported USD 736 million worth of poultry meat, making it the 12th largest exporter globally.
The country’s poultry industry has benefited from advancements in farming techniques and investments in modern facilities, which have boosted production efficiency and output.
One of the key drivers of Russia’s poultry export boom is its strategic expansion into new markets. China has emerged as the largest destination for Russian poultry exports, accounting for USD 464 million in 2023.
Other significant markets include Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The entry into the Chinese market has been particularly impactful, with exports to China growing by USD 61.2 million between 2022 and 2023.
Economic conditions have also played a crucial role in the growth of Russian poultry exports. The depreciation of the ruble has made Russian poultry more competitive in international markets, encouraging export initiatives.
Additionally, government support through subsidies, soft loans, and long-term state contracts has helped stabilize the sector and enhance its resilience.
