US Resumes Poultry Exports to Russia


Pilgrim's Pride Corporation is to resume export shipments to Russia after the Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) finalised certificates that must accompany the shipments.

Pilgrim's Pride has four Russia-approved processing plants that are currently packing product for Russia. Shipments began loading at US ports over the weekend.

"Demand from Russia is very strong. We have sold out our entire Russian-approved production for the next 30 days and prices have continued to strengthen," said Don Jackson, Pilgrim's president and chief executive. "Russia is an important export market for US chicken and the re-opening of the borders will be a significant benefit to our company and industry."
