The opinion of the ministries and representatives of the industry about the intervention in the meat market is unambiguous – to regulate the price of meat is not necessary.

On this account, spoke at the Association of meat producers, saying that at the moment, the company is able to independently adjust the volumes of production and, accordingly, to control price hikes.

The same position is shared by the President of the Meat Board of common economic space Mushegh Mamikonian.

"Raw meat has a limited shelf life — this is the first. In addition, when you yield this meat to the market from the intervention Fund potential major price fluctuations. There will also be significant budgetary costs. I think that the whole idea is unreasonable", — he said.

The Ministry of economic development of Russia fears that the costs of intervention can exceed expectations and lead to underinvestment in other sectors of agribusiness. The Ministry of agriculture agree with the views of the Ministry of economy and producers – the Agency also believe that, unlike wheat, the meat market is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations.

"Given all the circumstances we consider the meat intervention, premature", – said "news" in a press-service of the Ministry of agriculture.

We will remind, in April the Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev instructed the departments to consider the feasibility of the state purchasing and commodity interventions in the market of meat and meat products.
