Food Market in a Transition Economy —The Case of Russian Animal Procucts —

Summary/Abstract: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia’s position in the international food and agricultural market has dramatically changed. In spite of the record low level of grain harvest from 1994 to 1996, Russia has practically stopped imports of grain. As a result of the relatively good grain harvest in 1997, which was still far behind the average production levels in the 1970s and 1980s, Russia has even tried to export a huge amount (about 10 million tons) of grain. On the other hand, Russia’s dependence on imported food has remarkably increased. In the late 1980s, the share of imported goods in total food consumption in the former Soviet Union was around 15-16%. In Russia this share has risen to the current level of 25-28%. The main object of this study is to analyze the factors that have caused such drastic changes in Russia’s food market. Analysis will be focused on the problems of demand and import of animal products, because these products have played a crucial role in the changes in Russia’s food and agricultural market.
