Functioning and development of the market of eggs and poultry meat to ensure food security

This research was conducted to analyze the main trends in the development of the world and the Russian market of eggs and poultry meat. Russia's share in the global poultry meat production in 2020 was 5.10% (the 6th place in the world). In terms of poultry meat exports, Russia is on the 12th place in the world - 296 thousand tons. In 2020, egg production on farms of all categories of the Russian Federation amounted to 44.9 billion units that is 31.7% more than in 2000. Russia ranks 4th in the world in egg production. Poultry meat production on farms of all categories in 2020 amounted to 5.02 million tons that is 6.5 times more than in 2000. Because of the rise in the cost of the main types of resources the cost of eggs and poultry meat also rose. This, in turn, decreased profitability from the sale of eggs to 9.54%, and from the sale of poultry meat to 3.42%. In the pandemic, domestic poultry farming not only maintained the same level of development, fully meeting domestic needs for poultry products, but also managed to increase export supplies. In the Orel region in 2020, farms of all categories produced 18.8 thousand tons of poultry meat or 26.2 kg per person. The level of self-sufficiency of the region with poultry meat is 85%. Egg production on farms of all categories amounted to 52.9 million eggs, or 73 units per capita. The level of self-sufficiency of the region with eggs is 28%. Potential growth points in the development of the market of eggs and poultry meat to ensure food security of the country have been developed.
