Russia announces 2011 TRQ quantities: more beef, less poultry
The poultry TRQ has been reduced to 350,000 MT and narrowed in product scope, and will not have country-specific allocations in 2011. Fresh beef, pork, and pork trimming TRQ remain unchanged from 2010. MED will distribute the remaining TRQ quantities to importers by April 15, 2010.
“AMI would like to thank Ambassador Siddiqui and the staff at the Office of the United States Representative (USTR) for their efforts in negotiating this increased allocation, which represents more than an estimated $75 million in additional 2011 frozen beef exports,” said AMI President and CEO J. Patrick Boyle.
