The growing importance of the former USSR countries in world agricultural markets
研究了俄罗斯、乌克兰和哈萨克斯坦等前苏联国家如何成为重要的谷物出口国和俄罗斯成为肉类进口大国，并预测这些趋势将持续，但畜牧业扩张政策可能改变格局。
Abstract The major countries of the former Soviet Union—specifically Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan—are becoming increasingly important in world agricultural markets. The two main developments are that this region has become a large grain exporter, especially of wheat and barley, and Russia a big agricultural importer, especially of meat. These trends should continue for the next decade. However, policies to expand the livestock sector could mitigate these developments, as increased domestic meat production would reduce both meat imports and surplus feed grain for export. Also, further growth in the region's grain exports will require improvement in the infrastructure for storing and transporting grain.
