The Russian government is taking urgent measures to stabilise the situation in the local egg market where prices have soared more than 40% this year. Egg farmers claim that the industry is in “a perfect storm”.

Russia’s federal veterinary watchdog Rosselhoznadzor recently greenlighted egg imports from Turkey. This country, alongside Azerbaijan, is expected to help Russia to fill the gap in the egg market, the agricultural ministry commented.
The price hike has happened due to a perfect storm in the Russian egg industry, Leonid Kkolod, an independent agricultural analyst, told the local press. Over the past 2 years, Russian egg farms have been silently suffering having to maintain operations with ‘negative profitability’, Vladimir Mkhitaryan, director of the Krasnodar-based poultry farm Novorosiisk, disclosed. The farm ended 2022 with a marginality level of -3.6%. During the first 9 months of 2023, it reached -17%. Some farms curtailed operation while others scaled down production, Mkhitaryan said.
Among the reasons that pushed the profitability into the red zone, tough import dependence is the first to blame. Mkhitaryan said that the most painful is the need to purchase vaccines and feed additives abroad now when imports from Western countries are largely restricted.
“Equipment at poultry farms is also predominately of the European origin. Even if you manage to source components, you will do it at exorbitant prices,” Mkhitaryan admitted.

In the Reagan years prior to the collapse of the USSR, the Soviet Union was spending 38% of its budget on defense.
You think you are scoring points with this obvious fake propaganda pictures but you are just ticking off more and more Freepers. You are a total idiot.
Where’s your compassion for Russia’s pensioners?

Exactly and indeed.
Russia depleted itself in its fanatical never-ending warmongering. It unraveled in total bankruptcy.
That’s why it lost the cold war, and America and the West won.
Now Russia is in bed with its old Soviet demons again. Thus, the depletion of Russias tax payers money is now in full swing - again !
You are nothing but a leftist agitator and a douchebag. Your propaganda is as stupid as you are. Take your fake pictures and your egg obsession back to DU.
Russia isn’t giving their pensioners a cost of living increase in 2024 either.
This is not correct. The Russian old age insurance pension is scheduled for a 7.5% increase beginning Jan 1, 2024.
They typical Russian pensioner receives money from several different pension sources. That source above is roughly configured as Soc. Security.
You guys make up stuff and pretend that it is true.
Personal income taxed at 13% tax rate and reduced by an amount of tax deductions
I could list 20 Western globohomopedo countries where rates are higher.
That is more than the increase in US Social Security payments this year.

Did you get your ration of eggs today? Standing in line in the Tatarstan snow must not be a lot of fun.
Russia is advancing all along the front and Ukrainian forces are falling back after suffering heavy casualties. Ukraine is losing troops it has no realistic means of replacing. Russia, by contrast, is surging the size of its army and is not a victim of a war of attrition. Russia is the causing the attrition.
The lack of artillery ammunition on the part of Ukraine and the inability of the West to supply amounts that match what Russia is firing on a daily basis means that Ukraine, not Russia, is the one being battered.
Unlike Ukraine, which has been snatching men of all ages from the streets of Ukrainian cities and forcing them to the front with minimal training, Russia has enlisted almost 500,000 new soldiers in 2023. These new recruits are not being rushed into combat. They are going through the full regimen of training.
Ukraine has lost 50% of its population to emigration and war casualties. It has lost the Donbas, which is a rich region in terms of natural resources and industrial capacity. Ukraine has no path forward as a viable, strong country
Tatarstan stronk as bull!
40% is a normal rise in prices in a free market. Here in the USA egg prices may have risen by 400% during the avian virus problem. This story is just ridiculous hype.
“Russian shortages are due to sanctions;”
Sanctions are working. Thank you for acknowledging this.
40% inflation is not normal.
Before you post such a stupid asinine article like this, you had better check out our own grocery prices, some which have a 75% increase in a few years. Also your favorite money laundering Ukraine has similar price increases too, even as us taxpayers subsidize part of their economy.
All those egg shells and not 1 Yoke???????? I see why the MSM can brainwash you so easily.
75% inflation is not normal either.
