Top 20 of Pork Producers
THE TOP 20 COMPANIES
PRODUCED ALMOST 2.4
MLN TONNES OF PORK.
“MIRATORG” STRENGTHENED
ITS LEADING POSITION
AMONG THE TOP
PORK PRODUCERS
The National Union of Pork
Producers (NUPP) presented the list
of top pork producers as of year-end
2017. The total volume of the top 20
companies was 2.36 mln t (hereinafter,
on live weight basis), which is by
almost 220 ths. t more than in 2016.
The market share of the top producers
increased by 2% reaching 61.8% of the
total volume of industrial pork output in
Russia. According to “Agroinvestor”, the
top 3 companies produced 834.3 ths. t,
which is about 22%. In 2016, their share
was also 22% of the total industrial
output. The cumulative output of the
leaders was 783.8 ths. t in 2016.
“Although the market share of the
top 20 companies has increased
by approximately 2% over a year,
it is not fair to say that the sector
is consolidated”, Yuriy Kovalev,
CEO of the National Union of Pork
Producers said on the IX International
Conference “Where is the Margin?”
organized by the Institute for
Agricultural Market Studies. The
top 3 companies account for less
than 25% of the production, while in
the developed meat markets they
control up to 50%. This suggests that
the consolidation process in pork
production will continue, and this
year can be game changing.”
The top 3 companies remained
unchanged not for the first time,
although compared to the list created
by NUPP as of year-end 2016, the second
and the third companies switched
places. However, they are far behind
the leading company “Miratorg”. Last
year, this company produced nearly
415.2 ths. t of pork improving the 2016
results by 6 ths. t. The company’s pig
breeding division includes 28 complexes
in Belgorod and Kursk Oblast.
According to the company’s data, the
pig stock was 2.14 mln pigs at the end
of the last year. “Miratorg” plans to
increase its production significantly.
The company is currently expanding the
project in Kursk Oblast, and examines
the possibility of building complexes
with the capacity of 203 ths. t of commercial
pork per year in Orlovsk Oblast.
“Cherkizovo” Group moved from
third to second place. Last year, this
company produced 211.7 ths. t of pork,
which is by 27 ths. t or 15% more than
in 2016. The positive momentum was
reached mostly due to the launch of
new “weaning-fattening” platforms
built and commissioned during the last
two years. “The programs for improving
the genetics and health status of the
animals launched in previous years
were also successful”, the company
stated previously.
Despite the production growth,
“Rusagro” moved from second to third
place with the production volume of
207.4 ths. t. Last year, this company
produced 190 ths. t of pork. The company
continues building a complex
in Primorsky Krai – seven platforms,
for 3 ths. sows each, an elevator, a
feed-processing plant and a slaughterhouse
will be built. “In May this year,
the company will receive breeding
pigs, and it will reach its full capacity
in early 2020”, Maxim Basov, CEO
of “Rusagro” said. The project investments
are estimated at 29 mln rubles.
