Russia Animal Feed Market

Russia Animal Feed Market Overview:

The Russia animal feed market size reached 36.2 Million Tons in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 47.6 Million Tons by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.98% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the expanding livestock and poultry industry, technological advancements in feed production, government support and favorable policies, increasing domestic feed production capabilities, and the rising demand for high-quality, specialized animal feed products.

Russia Animal Feed Market Trends:

Growing Livestock and Poultry Industry

One of the major drivers of the Russian animal feed market is the expansion of the livestock and poultry industry. As domestic meat consumption increases and export opportunities grow, there is a heightened demand for high-quality animal feed to support the nutritional needs of livestock and poultry. For instance, the Russian Union of Feed Manufacturers projects a 14.3% increase in feed production to 40 million tonnes by 2025. Poultry feed is expected to grow by nearly a third to 22 million tonnes, and cattle feed by 28% to 3.8 million tonnes. Fish feed is forecasted to rise from 400,000 tonnes to 700,000 tonnes. The industry meets domestic demand with a production capacity of 42 million tonnes in 2023, expected to increase to 45 million tonnes by 2025. The Russian government’s initiatives to modernize agricultural practices and improve productivity have also led to an increase in livestock farming operations. These advancements necessitate the use of specialized feeds that enhance growth rates and overall health of the animals. Consequently, the feed industry is seeing a surge in demand for various feed types, including compound feeds, premixes, and additives that cater to specific nutritional requirements.

Government Support and Policies

Government support and favorable policies play a crucial role in driving the Russian animal feed market. The Russian government has implemented various programs and subsidies aimed at boosting the agricultural industry, including the livestock and poultry sectors. Initiatives such as financial incentives for feed producers, subsidies for modernizing feed mills, and support for research and development in animal nutrition are encouraging the growth of the feed market. For instance, according to industry reports, Russia is implementing mandatory labeling for pet food and veterinary drugs starting September 1, 2024, to combat counterfeit products, which constitute up to 25% of sales in some segments. Beginning October 1, all dry pet food must carry labels for complete supply chain traceability, with wet pet food labeling to start on March 1, 2025. The reform aims to eliminate counterfeit products and improve market integrity.

Moreover, the government’s focus on improving food security and reducing dependency on feed imports is fostering domestic production. For instance, in the first half of 2024, Russia saw a 40% decline in pet food imports as compared to the previous year. This drop is attributed to government restrictions, increased domestic production, and difficulties in making payments for imported goods, particularly from politically friendly countries. However, Russia has authorized the import of animal meal used in feed from Brazil, following negotiations between the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Russia's Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service (Rosselkhoznadzor). Initially, 11 Brazilian companies are approved to export, with ongoing efforts to expand this number. Regulations and standards set by government agencies ensure the quality and safety of animal feed, thereby gaining the trust of farmers and feed manufacturers and propelling market expansion.
