Market Overview
Beef
U.S. beef and beef variety meat are ineligible for export to Russia. When the market closed at the end of 2003, Russia was the fifth largest market for U.S. beef and beef variety meat exports. A bilateral trade agreement signed November 2006 will provide access for both boneless and bone-in beef, as well as beef variety meat, but steps still have to be taken before U.S. beef exports can resume.

Pork
U.S. pork exports gained a significant share of the Russian import market in 2006 as Russia’s main supplier, Brazil, had limited market access due to an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in major producing regions. As a result, U.S. pork and pork variety meat exports to Russia reached a new record in 2006, up 105 percent in volume from 2005 to 82,677 metric tons (mt) and 127 percent in value to $164 million. This marked the first year that market conditions in Russia made it possible for the United States to exceed its tariff rate quota and ship pork muscle cuts to Russia at the full duty.
