Experts don’t foresee a decline in 2015 feed production

Experts in general don’t predict any decline in feed production in Russia in 2015 despite the recent forecasts stating the level of meat consumption in the country may fall by 15% compared to 2014.

Russian meat production companies also declared that this year they will focus on the development of export supplies which should keep the level of livestock products and compound feed production to at least the level of previous years.
