Russia may remain without sausage

The total volume of world exports of pork products (pork, pork, bacon) in 2012 amounted to about 13.7 million tons

More than ¾ of this amount is accounted for chilled and frozen pork - it is about 10.5 million tons. World exports of pork products in 2012 amounted to 2.3 million tons of bacon - about 0.9 million tonnes . Note that more than 66 % of world exports , and that more than 9.5 million tons is exported from the EU . Largest supplier of pig products is Germany - accounting for about 16.7% ( 2.3 million tonnes ) of total world exports . In second place is the United States of America - 14.4% or 2,000,000 tons. Total , including the ten largest exporters are seven Member States of the European Union . Note, however, that this amount includes trade between EU countries . According

address IAA IMIT research commissioned by one of the Russian companies , only one third of total exports of pig products from the European Union goes beyond - it is about 6.6 million tons . Thus , the volume of supply of pork outside the territory of the European Union in 2012 was 1.6 million tonnes ( 22% of total EU exports , taking into account the mutual trade of EU member states ) , offal - about 1 million tons ( 72%), Speck - 0.4 million tons ( 55 %).

should be noted that one of the main markets for European producers is precisely Russia (hereinafter Member States of the European Union refers to as a single supplier of pig production in countries outside the EU). For example, Russia is the largest consumer of the first European pork ( HS code 0203 ) . Approximately 21% ( 0.3 million tonnes ) of export volume of this type of meat comes from the EU to the territory of our country. Also , among the largest consumers of pork produced in Europe are China (15% or 0.2 million tonnes ) and Japan ( 14% or 0.2 million tonnes ) . Consumption of bacon European origin Russia is also on the 1st place - it accounts for almost 73% of EU exports .

fully compensate for the lack of bacon for European Russia can not no country . For example: the total exports of the raw material from Canada and the United States in 2012 amounted to 86 thousand tons. With basic supplies fell to Japan, Mexico , Korea , etc. Yu Unlikely that these countries will " reshape " their contracts in favor of Russia , the need for which this product is 600 thousand tons per year , of which about 40-45 % are imported products . IAA IMIT estimated production in 2013 of bacon in Russia amounted to about 350 thousand tons, while imports amounted to 262 thousand tons .
