Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    The Russian Federation: review of the dairy sector
    FAO Investment Centre. Country Highlights (FAO), no. 2
    2010
    Also 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.

    The Russian forestry sector in the global forest products market: trends, outlook and opportunities for development 2006

    With an abundance of forest resources and considerable experience in forest processing, the Russian forestry sector has the potential for significant development in the future. This paper presents information about the current structure of the Russian forestry sector and recent forecasts of future production and consumption. This analysis shows that the sector is currently focused on roundwood and sawnwood production, with relatively little development of more processed and higher value-added pr oducts, such as wood based panels, pulp and paper. This suggests that development of the other factors of production should be given greater attention (i.e. labour and, in particular, capital). However, in order to encourage greater investment in the sector, it will be necessary to strengthen policies and institutions, improve access to information about the sector and work towards reducing investment risk. This paper finishes by describing some of the ways that FAO might be able to provide assi stance to the Russian forestry sector.

    Russian Federation: Analysis of the Agribusiness Sector in Southern Russia
    Report N. 13 - January 2009

    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.
