In Russia, the main competitor for pork is boiler meat, but in the future, turkey meat will become the main competitor, said Yury Kovalev, general director of the Russian National Union of Pig Breeders. on August 12 on the air of the program “From Mikoyan to Mamikonyan” on Vesti FM radio.
Pork meat has become a direct competitor to chicken meat. This applies to retail sale and meat processing, because in the preparation of chorizos, chorizos, sausages, pork and poultry meat are mutually replaced, said the general director of the National Union of Breeders of Pigs.
“The most serious competitor in our industry (pig farming – approx. Red Spring AI) will definitely be a turkey. Now there is an intensive development of the turkey, both in terms of consumer culture and in terms of the pace of development, but, of course, today it is more expensive. As turkey production increases, competition will increase, turkey prices will go down, it will move closer to pork; this will be our main competitor”.– said Kovalev.
Lamb will not compete with pork, because it is a niche product, despite the fact that this niche is quite broad, said the expert.
