Dynamics and prospects for the development of the Russian compound feed industry in the period from 2010 to 2025
Abstract
The presented research is devoted to analysing the development of the Russian compound feed industry in the period from 2010 to 2025. The purpose of the work is to assess the dynamics of the industry, identify the key factors affecting its development, and analyse the prospects for improving the efficiency of production and quality of mixed fodder. Data from the Federal State Statistics Service, the Ministry of Agriculture, industry associations and analytical centres, as well as scientific publications and reviews were used. The analysis has shown that the industry has gone through several stages of development, from steady growth to adaptation to economic crises and subsequent strong recovery. Government support, import substitution, development of domestic soybean production and introduction of innovative technologies played an important role. An increase in export opportunities and diversification of the raw material base were noted. Despite the successes achieved, the industry faces new challenges related to the need to reduce dependence on imported technologies, increase competitiveness in the global market and ensure sustainable development. The study highlights the need for further implementation of innovative solutions to optimise production and improve feed quality.
