Russia close to getting market access for poultry meat to Malaysia

Russia is on track to secure market access for poultry meat exports to Malaysia, according to the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor).

Authorities from both countries have finalised a veterinary certificate covering the export of chicken and turkey meat, and related byproducts from Russian slaughter and processing facilities. A protocol outlining compliance requirements has also been agreed upon.

Malaysian specialists will soon conduct inspections of Russian producers aiming to supply the Malaysian market. Once approved, this move could unlock new export opportunities for Russian poultry in Southeast Asia.

Russia has seen a steady increase in poultry production, driven by high domestic demand and ample feed supplies. In 2023, Russia exported US$736 million worth of poultry meat, making it the 12th largest exporter globally.
