Russia is looking for new markets after losing European ones due to sanctions \u2014 Central Asia has become a priority. The devaluation of the ruble has made Russian turkey cheaper than Turkish and Brazilian. Local producers are not keeping up with the demand.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turkey imports from Russia \u2014 850 tons in 9 months for $1.5 million;<\/li>\n<li>2024: 3 tons for $8.5 thousand \u2014 growth of 283 times;<\/li>\n<li>First deliveries \u2014 2022;<\/li>\n<li>Tajikistan: 700 tons worth $1 million for 9 months;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Growth drivers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Demand for dietary meat:<\/strong> turkey is a low-calorie protein popular among young people, athletes, and dieters. The growth of the middle class increases the demand for premium products. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Price drop:<\/strong> Ruble devaluation (from 60 to 100+ per dollar) made Russian turkey cheaper than competitors (Turkey, Brazil). The average price fell from $2.83 to $1.76 per kg. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sanctions against Russia: <\/strong>Russia has lost European markets, shifting its focus to Central Asia, China, and the Middle East. Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are priority areas. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Weak local production:<\/strong> Uzbek poultry farms mainly produce chicken. Turkey requires large investments, technologies, and feed \u2014 local producers are not keeping up with the demand. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Tajikistan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Similar growth: 700 tons to $1 million in 9 months. The average price is $1.43 per kg (lower than in Uzbekistan), which may indicate other delivery channels or cheaper varieties. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Russian turkey:<\/strong> Russia is a major producer of turkey (Cherkizovo, Damate, Krasnobor). After the 2022 sanctions, it redirected its exports to friendly countries: Central Asia, China, and the UAE. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Competitors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Turkey is a traditional leader in turkey exports, but more expensive than Russia&#8217;s;<\/li>\n<li>Brazil is a major exporter, but logistics is more expensive due to the distance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Local production:<\/strong> Uzbek poultry farms produce about 1 million tons of chicken per year, but turkey \u2014 thousands of tons. Reasons: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High feed costs (turkey eats 2-3 times more chicken);<\/li>\n<li>Shortage of technology and breeding material;<\/li>\n<li>Limited demand until recently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Price $1.76 per kg:<\/strong> cheaper than chicken ($2.-2.5 per kg retail), making turkey available to mass consumers. This is a key factor in demand growth. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Prospects:<\/strong> if the trend continues, turkey imports could reach 1,200-1,500 tons by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uzbekistan imported 850 tons of turkey meat from Russia for $1.5 million in 9 months \u2014 a record for all time.
