Russian Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko instructed country's ministry of agriculture to develop a roadmap to reduce the country's foreign dependency in feed additives.

Russia, dissatisfied with the level of foreign dependency in feed additives, pressed the button. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko instructed the Ministry of Agriculture to increase self-sufficiency in this area.
Russia, which is one of the important markets of the Black Sea basin, had approved the new Food Safety Doctrine in June, which was interpreted as a new phase in the country's food safety approach. According to the relevant roadmap, Russia aims to reach a better level in terms of self-sufficiency in food. According to this doctrine, Russia plans to increase its self-sufficiency up to 75% in main grains. However, in the signed project, feed additives were not included. Therefore, a new road map was needed to address the shortcomings in this area. Abramchenko's instruction aims to fill this gap.
Moscow, which has been subjected to sanctions due to its occasional political tensions with the Western powers, has begun to regard self-sufficiency in food as a security issue in recent years. The coronavirus agenda, which turned the spring and summer seasons of 2020 into a nightmare, has been affecting the feed additives market from the very first moment. When buyers moving away from China, the spreading point of the virus, turned to Europe, the relatively expensive prices had increased even more. The normalization process is expected to be reflected in every market.
