Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

The Russian Federation: review of the dairy sector

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.

Russian Federation Sugar sector review

The Russian Federation’s sugar industry has expanded output dramatically over the past ten years. As a result, the country has steadily reduced its reliance on imports. The stimulus for this expansion can be traced back to privatization of farms and factories in the early 1990s. However, sector development started only after the government has implemented the current system of variable import duties to protect local producers from volatile world market prices starting 2004. High domestic sugar prices accelerated investment and the expansion of the sector in the Russian Federation, as local beet prices increased by more than those of alternative arable crops. With these foundations in place, the industry has been willing to invest heavily to develop the sector further, with these investments having been focussed in two areas in particular: (i) consolidation and modernization of the beet processing sector and (ii) intensify beet production and secure greater raw material supplies for their factories.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOREST SECTOR OUTLOOK STUDY 2003

Also available in:

No results found.

This study analyses the national and international demand and provides forecasts for consumption, trade and production of major forest products in the Russian Federation. The authors elaborate conclusions for the forest sector stakeholders, which could be useful for further discussion about the forecasts and possible conclusions for policy makers. It starts from a historical analysis of major developments in the Russian forestry and forest industry sector, focusing on the collapse of the p lanned economy in the Russian Federation after 1990 and the current indicators for recovery. It uses macroeconomic assumptions, partly approved by the government, as a background to elaborate three forest sector scenarios.
