To calculate the index, use the statistics of Rosstat, Federal customs service (FCS) of the Russian Federation and the Eurasian economic Commission (EEC). According to Andrew Dalnova, head of strategic marketing Group "Cherkizovo", the index and its components are the most important indicators characterizing the situation on the meat market: "the Industry lacks operational summary information. The index is one of the few leading indicators indicating the future direction of market development. As saturation of the market and increase the supply of products for export the value of accurate and timely statistics and Analytics increases".

According to studies, the industrial supply of meat in Russia for 9 months of 2018 has not changed (hereinafter, compared with the same period last year), but in September it decreased by 2%, which was due primarily to the effect of "high base" (in the past year has seen a relatively high level of supply); cost increases; unusually high for early autumn temperatures (animals are not growing); the deterioration of the epizootic situation (forced slaughter of pigs and poultry due to the spread of African swine fever and avian influenza), as well as changes in the structure of imports by country (earlier, the supply of pork from Brazil was banned because of the use of Brazilian producers of banned growth promoter ractopamine).

In total, the index offers meat includes indexes offers poultry, pork and beef. The first two components have the greatest weight. The index offers poultry for 9 months of 2018 increased by 1%, and in September decreased by 1%. The evaluation of the Group, the supply of broiler meat stabiliziruemost. The proposal turkeys decreased due to problems with production in the Rostov region. More accurate data is difficult to obtain, as the production on the types of birds in Russian statistics is not split. The index offers pork for 9 months of 2018 decreased slightly by 1%, and in September decreased by 5%.

Despite a slight slowdown this year, the upward trend of the industrial proposals of the meat is preserved. Next year the positive dynamics will ensure the growth of domestic pork production. With high probability, will resume growth in the production of broiler meat. The level of supply of beef will be stable or will increase slightly. The Russians could consume more meat, but part of the proposal (1-3%) will be lost due to unfavourable epizootic situation.
