Buyers of Russian Cattle

**Miratorg** is the largest buyer and operator of cattle in Russia, having built one of the world’s largest cattle herds—around 400,000 mother cows—since 2010. The company imports **Angus and Hereford cattle** from the U.S., Australia, and other countries to develop a premium beef industry.

Other significant buyers include:
- **Private and state-backed agricultural enterprises** investing in beef and dairy production.
- **Export-focused processors** targeting markets in **Algeria, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Southeast Asia**, where Russian dairy and beef exports are growing.
- **Local farmers and cooperatives**, especially in regions like **Bryansk, Kalmykia, and the Southern Federal District**, where cattle breeding is expanding.

Russia’s counter-sanctions policy excludes live cattle and genetic material from import bans, enabling continued imports for herd development. While domestic consumption remains dominated by **poultry and pork**, demand for high-quality beef is rising, driven by companies like Miratorg and increasing export ambitions.
