DocumentThe Russian Federation: review of the dairy sector
FAO Investment Centre. Country Highlights (FAO), no. 2
2010Also available in:
In recent years, positive trends have been noted in the dairy sector in the Russian Federation. The national average milk production rose 60 percent, from 2.2 tonnes in 1997 to 3.5 tonnes in 2007. Regions of intensive production have emerged in the Northwest and Central federal okrugs, which are near centres of industrial milk processing around Moscow and St. Petersburg. These regions are characterized not only by high yields per cow but also by increasing production volumes. There has also been significant progress in smoothing out the seasonality of milk production, which has been completely overcome in some regions, in particular in the Leningrad Oblast, Moscow Oblast, Krasnodar Krai and in the Republic of Tatarstan. Both private and public investments in the sector have increased, enabling the creation of large dairy farms with modern technology. Against a background of increasing consumer demand, the milk processing industry has developed rapidly. The increase in the per capita co nsumption of dairy products, although still laging behind consumption levels in European countries, is an indicator of the high potential of the domestic dairy market. -
DocumentRussian Federation: Analysis of the Agribusiness Sector in Southern Russia
Report N. 13 - January 2009
2009Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture plays an important role in the Russian Federation and in particular in the Southern Federal Okrug. This region has tremendous comparative advantages in agricultural production, with some of the world’s best and most expensive land for arable farming and long agricultural traditions. However, agriculture in this area on faces important challenges and productivity remains low compared to most developed economies. The reform process in the agricultural sector is not yet completed. Agrib usiness value chains have suffered as finance is difficult to access. The investment climate in rural areas is not business-friendly, quality of infrastructure is poor, and conventional market institutions are not developed. An analysis of agribusiness constraints and investment opportunities in Russia is presented in this publication by the FAO Investment Centre/European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Cooperation Programme. It appears in its FAO/EBRD report series which fea tures sector reviews and studies undertaken on development issues and innovative areas for investment in emerging market countries in Europe and the CIS region. It was prepared in close collaboration with experts within the Government and private sector of the Russian Federation. -
Book (stand-alone)Russian Federation: Review of the Fisheries Sector
Report N. 12 - September 2008 (in English and Russian)
2008Also available in:
No results found.This report is part of a series by the FAO Investment Centre/European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Cooperation Programme which presents sector reviews and studies undertaken in Central and Eastern Europe on development issues and innovative areas to increase investment in the region. World fish production (capture and aquaculture) is likely to increase in response to growing consumer demand and higher prices. Most fish produced, traded and consumed in the Russia Federation is from cap ture fisheries. The Russian market for fish and seafood products has become one of the most dynamic segments in the national agrifood sector. Primary fish production and processing of fish and seafood were the two major segments considered in this study for the identification of potential investment partners in the Russian Federation. This report was commissioned by EBRD and financed by the Government of Japan and FAO. It was prepared by the FAO Investment Centre in close collaboration with expe rts from Eurofish, FAO Fisheries Department and Russian governmental fisheries agencies.
