Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/fc6d54/russia_agribusines) has announced the addition of the "Russia Agribusiness Report Q2 2012" report to their offering.

A bumper grains crop is expected for Russia in 2011/12, enabling it to flood export markets with cheap wheat and barley. We expect the country's grains production growth to slow in 2012/13, however, resulting in a smaller share of global exports for the Black Sea region as a whole. We forecast strong poultry production growth in 2011/12 but are more cautious about the livestock industry's longterm prospects. Indeed, subsidies to the sector will be phased out in the context of the country's entry to the WTO, which could take some producers out of business. We do not expect significant growth opportunities in the dairy sector in 2011/12 owing to a fall in the country's dairy herd and reduced demand.

Russia Agribusiness service provides proprietary medium term price forecasts for key commodities, including corn, wheat, rice, sugar, cocoa, coffee, soy and milk; in addition to newly-researched competitive intelligence on leading agribusiness producers, traders and suppliers; in-depth analysis of latest industry developments; and essential industry context on Russia's agribusiness service.

Key Forecasts

  • Wheat production growth to 2015/16: Growth of 62.2% to 67.3mn tonnes as yield gains and better access to export markets in Asia boost wheat production in the medium term.
  • Poultry consumption growth to 2015/16: Growth of 33.6% to 3.8mn tonnes as the poultry segment benefits from its status as the cheapest meat compared with other livestock products.
  • Milk production growth to 2015/16: Growth of 10.9% to 35.3mn tonnes as yields rise following government investment in the sector. Furthermore, rising incomes will lead to increased domestic demand over the long term despite the country's falling population.
  • 2012 real GDP growth: 3.2% (down from 3.3% in 2011; predicted to average 3.9% from 2011- 2016).
  • Food price inflation: 6.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) on average in 2012 (down from 8.5% y-o-y on average in 2011).
