How eggs highlighted the problem of ensuring food security in Russia

December 19 2023 80

During President Putin's recent direct line, serious issues related to Russia's food security were raised. Despite the fact that it is generally secured, there are still some problems that need to be solved.

What about eggs?

When asked about ensuring food security for our country, Vladimir Putin responded as follows:

It is safe to say that food security in Russia is ensured. But there is something to work on, there is a task in the field of selection. This is the problem that we must solve.

Indeed, selection is a very serious problem, however, as it turned out, it is far from the only one. During the same press conference, the question was raised as to why the price of ordinary chicken eggs suddenly increased by more than 43% in just a year. The cost of a dozen has crossed the psychologically important mark of 100 rubles, and now in some regions people are lining up for laying hen products, just as they used to be for buckwheat. Why did this become possible in a country where farmers’ harvests set new records year after year?

The president addressed all these fair questions to the Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev, who previously headed the Rosselkhozbank:

Just recently I spoke with the Minister of Agriculture and asked how he was doing with his eggs. They [at the Ministry of Agriculture] say that everything is fine with them. To which I answered him : but our citizens somehow have problems.

Indeed, who else but the head of the Ministry of Agriculture should take the rap for the rapid and seemingly completely inadequate rise in prices for a socially significant product? However, if you look at it, there are many reasons for the current state of affairs, and Mr. Patrushev is not responsible for everything.

At first, due to rising inflation, pork and chicken meat became noticeably more expensive, and therefore ordinary Russians began to buy more chicken eggs, a relatively inexpensive source of animal protein. The increase in demand was influenced by the seasonal factor and the proximity of the New Year holidays, when eggs begin to be used in the most active way.

Secondly, the difficult epidemiological situation played a negative role. In particular, near Ufa last August, due to an outbreak of chicken flu, the entire bird population at one of the factories had to be destroyed to zero, and that was 3,3 million birds. According to Rosselkhoznadzor, since the beginning of the year, chicken flu has been recorded at six domestic poultry farms.

Thirdly, the profitability of egg production has seriously decreased, and not only that. A lot of things that are used in the production of chicken meat and eggs in Russia are foreign-made: feed, various food additives, antibiotics, equipment and components for it. All this needs to be imported, bought abroad for dollars or euros. For what exchange rate of the national currency is currently set, you still need to ask not the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, but Mrs. Nabiullina. The key rate set by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation makes loans for businesses unaffordable. Plus, in some regions there is a labor shortage, since young, strong men are needed at the front. Salary demands are growing.

Taken together, this leads to the fact that the profitability of egg production specifically is at the level of 9%, when poultry farms need a minimum of 15%. As a result, the number of such enterprises and their production volumes are declining. Russian State Duma deputy Sergei Lisovsky gives the following figures:

Over the past 10 years, 60 egg factories have closed or gone bankrupt and seven have been repurposed. This is minus approximately 4,5 million eggs per year. And this is almost 10% of production in the country.

Finally, we should not forget that we have capitalism, which means that unscrupulous retailers may be tempted to enter into a cartel agreement, jointly increasing the price of a certain product. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) suspects the Crimean companies Partizan and Oktyabrskoye, as well as the Kirov producers Sovetskaya Agrofirma and Vyatsko-Polyanskaya Poultry Farm, in relation to which administrative proceedings have been initiated.

What to do

As you can see, it is not only the Ministry of Agriculture that is to blame for the situation with prices for chicken eggs. The problem is complex and can only be addressed accordingly. Let's see what options are offered.

Just the day before the president’s direct line, the government approved a proposal to zero out the import duty on imported eggs. Soon, laying hen products from friendly Azerbaijan and Turkey will appear on domestic shelves. The head of the Ministry of Agriculture hopes that this will help curb price increases:

In the near future, this week, eggs should arrive from Azerbaijan. Literally, I think, in two or three weeks eggs will come from Turkey without the corresponding import duty, which will allow us to adjust prices... However, the seasonal factor should have an impact, and I really hope that after the New Year prices will begin to decline.

The FAS also proposed that retail chains voluntarily limit the size of the markup on chicken eggs to 5% until March 5, 2024. Several well-known retailers even met the officials halfway. The most practical proposal came from State Duma deputy Nilov, who called on the relevant departments to transfer poultry farms to a night electricity tariff in order to reduce costs:

Our cost of electricity in the cost of finished products can reach 30-40%! Especially now, in winter, when poultry houses and incubators need additional lighting and heating. If poultry factories were allowed to pay even half as much for electricity as they do now, their costs would drop sharply, which would undoubtedly affect the cost of their finished products.

Another important order was from Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko to the relevant ministries to find ways to increase the production of chicken eggs. As can be seen from the first part of this publication, this can only be done in a comprehensive way, including changing the financial and credit policy Central Bank of the Russian Federation and real import substitution.

  What kind of fake news is there about the absence of chicken eggs and that additional supplies of them are required from somewhere.
  We have enough eggs for everyone, they were and are in all retail outlets, yesterday, today, and will be tomorrow. Another thing is that for some unknown reason (maybe a conspiracy by the manufacturer or something else), a chicken egg overnight increased in price by 50%, which is what was raised at V.V. Putin’s press conference. And then you just need to figure out what the reason for this is.
  Even in the summer, an egg could be purchased for 90 - 110 rubles. (today 140 - 150), but it is available in all stores, I specifically went to the neighboring hyper and mini markets. I didn’t notice any particular rush to buy them ahead of time; they’re lying around - no one takes more than a dozen.

    I was at the market over the weekend. Private owners sell eggs for an average of 140. That is, at the same price as in supermarkets. For them, this price turns out to be profitable, but for large poultry farms, for some reason, it is not.

  The eggs did not reveal anything. The cost of eggs varies by region. Some are more expensive, some are cheaper. Two chicken and egg production enterprises raised prices in the European part of Russia. Now the prosecutor's office has taken charge of them. They cannot explain why they did it so abruptly and without reason. Just human greed and greed. In our country (the Baltic countries), prices for eggs, for example, in six months increased from 1 - 1.2 Euro to 2.5-3 Euro and no one squeaked about this, it’s useless. There is only one answer: the market decided.
  For agricultural products. Not only in Russia but throughout the world the cost is seasonal. Any greens in spring and winter are very expensive, summer and autumn are cheaper. Even all kinds of southern citrus fruits and other bananas also depend on the time of year for sale and the level of fluctuation is about or almost doubled. Over in Europe, prices soared and no one explained anything to anyone. They took it for granted and have always done so. So there is no point in moaning and turning the arrows on the government. It works even better than in some developed countries of the Eurozone.
  Price jumps are just a market pattern. Prices have changed and will change under the influence of various circumstances. Well, in order not to whine about this, just try to earn more. Take a plot for a garden if there is no possibility of part-time work. Grow something yourself. Helping the family is also good. Well, if you are lazy, then whine about how everyone around you is to blame.

    Do you remember what they said within the framework of food security about the sharp rise in price of canned saury products? They say that this fish has left traditional fishing grounds, but this phenomenon is temporary (seasonal) and saury will return. A year or two or whatever passed...during this time the fish changed their traditional fishing spots several times. Did this affect the price reduction?

Everything is supposedly fine with their food security. But how can it be okay if almost half of the farmland in Russia is neglected, and in most villages and hamlets there are almost no cows left! Yes, there is no hunger, and there is no acute food shortage in the country either. But their prices have been rising much faster than official inflation for many years, especially the current one. And not only for eggs, but also for meat, last year - especially pork and chicken, dairy products, fish, oranges, bananas, grapes and other fruit and berry products. The Russian top brass set official inflation at 7,5% this year, but how much have prices for eggs, chicken, pork, cheese, and fruit increased? By 20%, 30%? If not more. A significant, if not most, part of the people is increasingly forced to eat methylated spirits and surrogates, that is, sausage and sausages, in which instead of meat there is soy, starch, flour, processed waste from the carcasses of slaughtered animals and fat, cheese with palm oil, etc. There is no need to talk about the quality of meat, dairy and fish products grown in unnatural conditions, with the help of hormones, antibiotics and other unsafe products and artificial feed. All this, by the way, not only worsens the quality of life of Russians, but also greatly affects the health of the nation and the demography of the country. Added to this is a vicious bet on agricultural holdings, which, together with resellers, banks, and retail chains, ruin farms and subsidiary peasant farms, forcing the last villagers to flee to the cities or to work for a long time. In general, it is high time for the rulers of Russia to take off their rose-colored glasses and get down to business or give way to others.

  So what are the problems? Settle in a village, get a cow or better yet several. And if you are an entrepreneur, then start a herd. Cooperate with the same ones and expand, restore abandoned agricultural areas. Well, if you don’t want to engage in livestock farming, take up crop farming and so on. Otherwise you are boiling and gurgling here: this is not there, it is at high prices. And they most likely received a specialty for the convenience of their backside and pocket. But it was necessary, if you are such a guardian, to enter an agricultural institution and then straight into agriculture. So who are you turning to? Should the country's leadership be doing this instead of you? It must create and has created the conditions for production, the rest is up to you. Or not? It’s better to chat about various things on websites than to do business.
  Start with yourself. Go to the countryside, get involved in agriculture - there will be enough things for you to do there. Start, so to speak, a new page in your life. Encourage your friends to accept this too. And I’m sure there will be no need to scold anyone at the top, since you and people like you will put agriculture in order. Right? Go for it.

All these points, from the first to the last, were spoken about decades ago, but the supreme ruler, in his annual appearances to the people, ignored all these details and reported only on great victories in comparison with the godless USSR, which only produced galoshes. Such an installation from the very top slowed down or even blocked any import substitution, and all the funds “saved” on it turned into trillions invested in enemy bonds, castles, yachts and other good deeds.
Until now, many vital things happen with a large phase shift. At the next elections, those who live will hear that, it turns out, their insidious West is just a puppy compared to our sabotage Central Bank, but the course was correct and now we will definitely live.

For a person who more or less follows the news, the situation with food security in the country is more or less clear: For many years now, here and there, news/information has surfaced that we grow mainly feed/technical grain - that is, there is no bread from such grain without chemicals cook. It was 80-85 percent a few years ago. Grudinin also spoke about this. This already allows us to judge our food security. It is unlikely that anything has changed much in this ratio at the moment. Not so long ago, there was a shortage of rye flour - apparently the area was used for export wheat. In addition, there are fewer and fewer cattle of our own, and this is also free wheat for export, and imports are horns, hooves and skins, from which the coveted hundred varieties of sausage are made. The number of people suffering from gastrointestinal disorders due to bread... And not only because of bread... is growing every year, as is oncology of the gastrointestinal tract. Doctors write about this infrequently and timidly. Apparently they are pressed there to keep silent. And this is a consequence of the fact that bread probably contains more chemicals than flour. True, just recently there was news that our people have learned to make flour from feed grains using new methods. I would like to believe that the quality will increase, but I don’t believe it. because it is a surrogate. Also, not so long ago, the legislator graciously deigned to allow serfs to eat insects, allowing the use of black soldier fly protein in the production of products. In general, then judge for yourself.

The Kremlin and personally the GDP will never admit their own guilt for egg prices. By driving down the discount rate, enterprises were deprived of investment opportunities and even an increase in working capital. Imports have opened. as long as it's not your height.

stop stop stop! I just recently watched how they said on TV that we have our own food and smoke like a horse...... mate...! They say one thing on TV, but it turns out that poultry farms are going bankrupt one by one. They say that our chickens are exported only to the UAE and to Saudi Arabia, and in good volumes. Is someone lying somewhere? Chicken has caught up with pork in price. I began to buy pork more often than chicken, since it became cheaper. I once wrote here about import substitution of cheeses, they show the factory, they say, look, we produce everything ourselves, and the starters and equipment are completely Western. I was “verbally kicked around” then, but it turns out that I was right, that we are addicted to cheeses and more. In this topic, the author points out one of the problems with chicken is imported equipment. This means that not everything is going smoothly with cheeses and with chickens, and I’m sure that there are still many problems, but they are rarely voiced at the highest level, as in this case - once a year.

  Nowadays, electronics are used everywhere in one way or another, and they are imported, at least at the level of the most complex chips.
  
  In this particular case, the problem is rather that prices for eggs have been held down for a long time, and so they have become unprofitable for the domestic market.

And speculators take advantage of the situation and didn’t give a damn about shouts from officials, until you knock them on the bullshit, they don’t want to understand anything.

I would not say that the Ministry of Agriculture is to blame here, rather than the Russian Agricultural Supervision and the Tax Inspectorate, and behind them are comprador agents, enemies of the people, employees of the IMF and who sold their souls to the West, making all production in the Russian Federation NOT PROFITABLE.... in the end everything is based on imports, Nabiulina artificially increased the exchange rate of the dollar to the ruble, and accordingly eggs became more expensive.... so the Rosselkhokhnadzor introduces such standards of inspection and extortion that no one keeps chickens, and the tax service strangles everything, and what it collects, it hands over to corrupt officials for cutting.... so I will give free advice to the respected Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko, reduce taxes at least in agriculture, because we have a zone of risky farming, and put down extortionists of all stripes: fire supervision, traffic police, Rosselkhoznadzor, trannadzor, Rosporebnadzor, etc. and you will see how abandoned fields will begin to be plowed up and there will be plenty of food of all kinds and WHt feed for chickens

Finally, we should not forget that we have capitalism, which means that unscrupulous retailers may be tempted to enter into a cartel agreement, jointly increasing the price of a certain product.

Yes, not finally, but first of all, it is to extract maximum profit. And the weakness of the state represented by ministries and departments. The minister is fine with his balls, but the population has problems. The minister has been closing poultry farms for 10 years; since November, egg prices have gone up sharply, citing the proximity of the New Year holidays. Well, yes, and then Christmas, February 23, March 8... Tell me again, Easter is to blame. I remembered a proverb: “Something always gets in the way of a bad dancer.” Until the President gives a kick, they won’t scratch themselves?!

Quote from Nelton.
In this particular case, the problem is rather that prices for eggs have been held down for a long time, and so they have become unprofitable for the domestic market.

Own feed, poultry farms in Russia, which location is unprofitable? Costs should fall, but they are bringing us eggs from overseas, probably so that the rest of the factories can go bankrupt and close? Because of the hill, it’s profitable to carry perishable goods, but in Russia it’s expensive to produce. Maybe the problem is different, we don’t replace anything imported, but what the state allocates for import substitution is stupidly stolen, by lying to the ears and buying everything from behind the hill?

  everything is brought from abroad because there are no extortionists from the authorities and taxes are not so high, in warm countries agriculture is not only not robbed by the state, but they are also given subsidies, what a fool would develop industry and agriculture in conditions of blatant extortion by arrogant officials lawless people of all stripes, it is natural that production in the Russian Federation is being reduced and going bankrupt, poultry farms have gone bankrupt, and those that remain have raised prices in order not to go bankrupt, a significant part of the prices are bribes and kickbacks to officials, extortionists, drones, world-eating parasites from supervision...

  in the place called VAT, this is a tax on Russians, that is, if we sell feed to Russians, then please pay a fifth (20 percent), if you send feed abroad, then please receive 20 percent from the compriador government of the Russian Federation... the same with eggs and other goods, this was invented by the IMF, and Gaidar and Chubais introduced it in order to ruin the domestic mechanical engineering, agriculture and generally rob Russia, but the Chubais in the Russian government will never cancel the VAT refund, because then the Americans will suffer, it is better to increase the property tax several times in 2024, so that the people would overthrow Putin and put Navalny in charge in favor of the same Americans, so everything I write in favor of the poor robbed Russians is in vain

    Oh yes, it would have been something to ruin in 1992...
    Agriculture from the RSFSR received completely killed goods, imports of basic grain in tens of millions of tons, coupons for “meat” in the regions of the RSFSR from the end of 197, 500 grams per person per month...
    
    And here are the results of recent years - stable harvests of 115+ million, serious net exports of agricultural products - while maintaining a very decent import of goodies (tea coffee chocolate fruit wines), in the 2nd year of sanctions - the shelves are generally no worse than before, no tickets, no queues...

Don't forget that we have capitalism

And don’t forget that there is a SVO, which besides everything costs a lot of money.
And judging by indirect evidence, it is financed by the printing press, i.e., inflation.
So far, not much more than in banal barrel crises like 2014.

And then how

everything for the front everything for victory

- this is how the venerable commentators trampled the entire clave.
And as soon as they themselves were touched by the edges, there was resentment and misunderstanding.

I went into stores - there are eggs on sale, but the number of them on the shelf for customers has decreased. Chicken is available as usual. It seems that people have heard enough of the media and are grabbing more eggs than they ever needed. And once there is a rush, prices creep up - the law of the market. The question is at what point this growth will be stopped by the efforts of the state. They write about purchasing imported eggs. How else can you bring down the hype prices, except for the excess supply of goods?

  What does the dollar exchange rate have to do with it? We must have our own production in at least 80% of all important industries. Then you are not afraid of any exchange rate. If there are no natural resources, then light industry, science, and advanced technologies are strengthened; if there are natural resources, then agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, advanced technologies, light and heavy industries, and the main thing is that 85% of everything goes to the state khazna after the export of products.

In fact, eggs are now much more expensive in Turkey than in “mainland” Europe. Almost 2 times more expensive. How they will help bring down prices for our domestic products is unclear.

Why is feed for laying hens asked and not only imported? Is it impossible to produce it in Russia? Why are antibiotics imported? There was no need to degrade everything that was created in the USSR.
I was amused by the statement that

Population incomes have increased, so demand has increased

It is for officials, deputies and ministers and all the income attached to them has increased, while for everyone else it has decreased.

All these are leftist excuses: firstly, secondly, here...
It turns out that eggs from a capitalist hillock can be produced and delivered cheaper than ours with cheap electricity, compared with them, with feed, wages and less transportation?! And they have inflation too!
Our eggs now cost the same as in France, one and a half euros! And the average salary there is 3000 euros (300 tr.), and not XNUMX tr., like ours!
In the end, our bourgeoisie, capitalists and traders have gone crazy, they still can’t get enough!

  of course it’s cheaper, because you don’t have to pay VAT, so the price increase is no less than 20 percent, and the fireman will come and give him a hand, the traffic police will come and give him a hand, the insurance company will come and give him a hand, the traffic police will come and give him a hand, Rosselkhoznadzor will come, give it a paw, so the price is becoming higher than the French one... and the property tax in 2024 has been raised several times... so we are also waiting for the ruin of the developers. rising prices for everything. after poultry farms .. after all, real estate is any kind of production, and the return on property tax, by the way, is comparable to personal income tax, that is, it would be the same as if personal income tax were not 13, but 26 percent (a quarter of added value!)... but no one would take money offshore never taxed

Excuse me, but you thought that it was not you who would have to pay for the soldiers’ salaries and Iranian farmans with Jewish-Chinese lancets, probably. In Donetsk, it is unlikely that mass production of aircraft models will begin at the price of model aircraft, as should be the case in a power that protects its people and the borders of their residence and their real history and, as a consequence, their ancient conscience. If she stayed. Judging by the comments, prices and their reasons are such a secret that they will never come true. Since 85, it has been clear that people always have enough of only one product - NOODLES.

The eternal question: are they fools or scoundrels? The system generates moronic laws about manure (there is so much stupidity there that you need to write an article), about notifications 5 days before chemical treatments (in 2 days the field will be destroyed by parasites). This system makes all producers a priori guilty of everything, because it is impossible to function according to the rules it creates. And there is no feedback or responsibility from legislators. Lack of responsibility and economic approach at the highest level. Treating the population like idiots:
1) during CLEANING, cancel the damper and pretend to fight the collapse in the fuel market for months.
2) declare inflation at a ridiculous 5-7%, despite the fact that fuel has increased in price several times - and this is the main factor in costs at all stages of production.
They act in relation to the agricultural sector according to the principle of an anecdote: in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it must be fed less and milked more. Subsidies were cut (they gave half for milk), taxes are automatically written off, despite the fact that the software system is crude (Mishustin promised a moratorium until the new year and did not fulfill it (not for me personally, of course)), export duties stifle the influx of gross revenue. Prosecutor's checks are used to harass peasants when prices for agricultural products increase. When there is a drought, there is no help for the victims. Their emergency is just PR in the newspapers - businesses are closing en masse. The only plus is lending at a preferential interest rate (about 5%), I give it its due. Now, if only it was for at least 2 years, and not 1 year, in order to have time to prepare the land for the harvest, steam it and harvest the next year. Dreams, dreams... are infinitely far from the people. You can only fly to them with gravity.

  How Khoja taught a donkey to mortify the flesh
  
  One winter, Khoja Nasreddin experienced great difficulties. “What if I reduce the donkey’s barley intake a little?” - he thought and began to give the donkey less than the usual measure. He looks, and the donkey is cheerful, as he was. After some time, he further reduced the donkey's portion. The donkey is still cheerful. Then the Khoja began to give the donkey half as much barley as before. The donkey, however, was no longer so cheerful, but the Khoja found that he was still in good condition. When, after a month or two, the Khoja began to give the donkey a quarter of the portion, the donkey became completely sad and began to lie for a long time, and almost stopped eating straw. Meanwhile, the portion of barley came down to just one handful. One day the Hodja went into the barn and saw that the donkey had died. “Eh,” thought the Khoja, “I had already completely accustomed the donkey to killing the flesh, but come on, death got in the way at the wrong time.”

Some kind of childish naivety. The eggs were highlighted... But the skyrocketing prices for fuel and lubricants during the harvest were not highlighted? This is a complex failure of the state’s economic policy, not least aggravated by the policy of the Central Bank. They will still somehow hold out until the elections, although it’s barely possible, and I don’t even want to think about what will happen later. And again, from every iron, the familiar voice of Promisalkin, either to fill up with planes, or with ships...

Here are three messages from high-ranking officials in two days: On January 10, General Director of the Russian Poultry Union Galina Bobyleva said that egg prices in Russia are unlikely to decrease even taking into account supplies from abroad.
11 January
The Ministry of Agriculture expects a quick decline in egg prices in retail chains...
11 January
A State Duma deputy called the rise in egg prices in the country banal speculation!!!

The sharp increase in egg prices in Crimea and other regions of Russia is banal speculation and is not associated with increased costs for producers. This was stated by State Duma deputy from Crimea, first deputy chairman of the parliamentary committee on the financial market, Konstantin Bakharev.

I talked with egg producers here in Crimea, and I realized for myself that this is definitely not a subject of legislative regulation. In my opinion, the main reason here is banal speculation. Producers told me that the buyers who buy eggs from them offered higher prices every week. Despite the fact that the cost of production did not change at this time

- said the parliamentarian.
It turns out that the general director of the Rospoultry Union, Galina Bobyleva, either does not understand the situation and goes against the President’s assurances that prices will decrease, or is corrupt, paid to keep prices high... Over the past two weeks, egg prices for producers have decreased by 2,5 percent, this It’s just a mockery of the people and no one hits the hands of the speculators, it’s obvious that no one cares....
