In 2010, the quota for the supply of poultry meat to Russia from the United States is set at 600 thousand tons. “Naturally, it can be selected by U.S. exporters only if they comply with new rules, imposed in December by government decree - Russia,” said the president of RSPP, Alexander Shokhin.

“It is about how American producers-exporters to comply with these requirements,” - he said. The head of RSPP, the U.S. would not want to lose even Russia”s declining market, but “that he will decline - is obvious. Alexander Shokhin stressed that Russia”s market accounts for only 20% of total U.S. exports of chicken meat, and eventually the United States can refocus on China, especially since Russia in the coming years plans to move to self-sufficiency in these products, and even become an exporter.

“It is not about” pushing “the American manufacturer of Russia”s market”, - said Shokhin. He stressed that the issue of exports of poultry from the United States is not political. Parties need to develop a technical framework that will allow American manufacturers to reach compliance with the standards for chlorine content - this, according to the president of RSPP, and is the main objective of US-Russia consultations, which began in Moscow on 19 January. The problem could be delayed for a year, and could be decided within a month, said Alexander Shokhin.

ban on meat imports to Russia has been treated with chlorinated solution, began operating on 1 January 2010. Supplies of poultry from the United States planned to stop, because products do not meet Russia”s new standards. According to some sources, the supply from the United States accounts for about 80% of Russia”s imports of chicken.

In 2007, Russia”s poultry producers have been able to provide only 60% of the market, but in recent years the industry is developing at a good pace, “- said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at a meeting on the development of a market of poultry meat in Russia.

“Only in 2009 the increase was 12%. And we have more than 75% of the market are closing their own goods. Still, almost 25% of buying imports. It”s a lot more. But in general, import substitution are performed well,” - said Prime.

“Unfortunately, some of our partners - primarily have in mind the company from the U.S. - we do not see any willingness to comply with Russia”s standards”, - Vladimir Putin added. He stressed that the new requirements - not something that is leavened, only Russia, the standards applicable to the European Union.
