production in Russia the traditional
practice was processing of dairy
breeds of cattle and beef farming
was not developed in a proper way.
Besides, out of 12,500 companies
engaged in cattle breeding the share
of medium-sized and large industrial
complexes accounts for not less
than 3%. They provide not more than
27% of beef production.
Nevertheless, beef farming and
production out of beef breed and
mixed bred cattle in Russia show
the first signs of development. Apart
from development of pioneer stockraising
facilities of the Russian beef
farming, small farm businesses from
different regions of Russia also show
interest in farming of beef breeds.
Over the last three years 23.7 billion
rubles have been allocated for the
industry promotion. Since 2016
subsidies have been provided for
keeping mother stock of beef breeds
and mixed bred cattle. As a result,
the number of beef cattle and mixed
bred cattle grew from 1,012.4 million
heads in 2009 to 3,468.6 million
heads in 2016. For the first time
the share of specialized beef and
mixed bred cattle reached 15.7% in
the production structure of cattle for
slaughter in all kinds of household
(2,879.5 thousand tonnes). At
the same time, the benchmark of
the Stockbreeding Development
sub-programme is increase in the
livestock population of specialized
beef and mixed bred cattle up to 3.59
million heads till 2020.
The Agroprodmash participants
testify to the industry upgrade. It
is confirmed by statistical findings:
610 beef farming facilities were
put in operation, reconstructed and
upgraded during 2008-2016 where
79 thousand tonnes of cattle were
produced for slaughter. This trend
will develop.
The Agroprodmash regular participants
are leading manufacturers
of equipment and instruments for
commercial slaughter of livestock.
Among them such companies as
Banss, Frontmatec (uniting ATTEC,
ITEC, Carometec, SFK-Leblanc),
Jarvis, Marel, Voran as well as representatives
of other companies
manufacturing equipment presented
at the stands of Russian and foreign
systems integrators. Equipment
for poultry slaughtering and primary
processing will be presented
by such companies as Marel, Meyn,
Hartmann, etc. The Agroprodmash
2017 participants shared their views
on the development of the primary
processing industry.
Konstantin Egorov, Sales
Director, Frontmatec Russia
“Over the last ten years the Russian
industry of pork primary processing
has had a long way. Nowadays, new
projects of slaughterhouses for 300
and more heads per hour are not a
surprise any more. Truly speaking,
some of them have to be delayed
due to money problems. Besides, a
closed nature of many potentially
attractive export markets (e.g, China)
also negatively affects a number of
interesting projects.
Currently, high productivity
agricultural enterprises show the
greatest investment activity while
the demand on the part of small and
medium-sized enterprises dropped to
zero that is a common development
scenario of the Russian agroindustrial
sector when it is unprofitable for
small farm businesses to develop
their own processing facilities
against the background of high
efficient agricultural complexes. It is
more convenient for them to sell their
livestock to large enterprises.
их убойных производств. Это понимают
и сами директора предприятий
убоя, и поставщики соответствующего
оборудования и решений. Можно
с уверенностью утверждать, что
лейтмотивом экспозиции каждого
поставщика оборудования для убоя
на выставке «Агропродмаш» станут
эффективные и гигиеничные технологии
убоя и первичной переработки,
призванные обеспечивать высочайшее
качество и пищевую безопасность

минимальными производственными
потерями.
Помимо драйверов роста мясного
рынка, остаются и сектора, требующие
повышенного внимания со стороны
государства и особого интереса
со стороны инвесторов. Один из
таких секторов – производство говядины,
где в России традиционно
практиковалась переработка мяса
молочных пород КРС, а мясное
скотоводство должным образом
не развивалось. Поэтому комфортный
уровень внутреннего производства
по мясу КРС, достигнутый на
данный момент (75%), обуславливается
закономерным снижением
потребительского спроса на волне
неуклонного сокращения поголовья
скота. Кроме того, из 12,5 тыс. организаций,
занятых выращиванием
крупного рогатого скота на долю
средних и крупных индустриальных
комплексов приходится менее
3%, обеспечивающих не более 27%
производства говядины. Что, к сожалению,
снижает инвестиционную
привлекательность отрасли.
Тем не менее, мясное скотоводство
и производство говядины из мясных
и помесных пород КРС в России демонстрирует
первые признаки становления
– помимо развития животноводческих
комплексов-«пионеров»
российского мясного скотоводства,
