RIO DE JANEIRO, October 16. /TASS/. Brazil has scaled down the prices of pork intended for exports to Russia from October 2014, the vice president of the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABRA), Rui Eduardo Saldanha Vargas, said on Thursday.
He said prices were revised in September at the request of the Russian authorities and importers, going down, in some cases even by half. Earlier, Russian pork importers said Brazilian suppliers raised release prices of pork for Russia after it had imposed a food embargo on some Western countries following Western sanctions on Russia over Ukraine.
