The Office of the United States Trade Representative has welcomed last week’s signing of the protocol to the 2005 US-Russia Agreement on Trade in Certain Types of Poultry, Beef, and Pork.
The protocol makes adjustments to the in-quota quantity and out-of-quota tariff for US pork and poultry exports to the Russia Federation.
Sean Spicer, a spokesperson for USTR, said: “The United States is very pleased that our USTR/USDA negotiating team was able to reach agreement so US exporters can continue supplying this important market. This protocol will provide certainty to our trade in poultry and pork in 2009.”
The Russian Federation is the number one export market for US poultry meat and the fourth largest market for US pork. US exports of poultry and pork to the Russian Federation reached USD720m and USD191m, respectively, in 2007.
