Quota Holders Published

The Russian Ministry of Economic Development and Trade published the lists of companies allocated 25 percent of poultry, beef and pork quotas on February 2. The allocation was based on January–September 2004 import statistics.

The companies will get quota licenses from the ministry and veterinary import certificates from the agricultural ministry’s veterinary service. Several of the companies listed have product on the way to Russia, while others were waiting for publication of the lists.

The chilled beef quota, 6,875 mt (25 percent of 27,500 mt), is allocated among 21 companies. The frozen beef quota, 107,500 mt (25 percent of 430,000 mt) is allocated among 223 companies. The U.S. share of the just-announced quota is 4,425 mt (25 percent of 17,700 mt).
