The article examines the main successes of pig farming in Russia in comparison with other key areas under the food embargo. Ensuring food security has become one of the priorities of Russia's policy since 2014, as the sanctions imposed have shown that the production potential of the food segment is lower than the country's real needs for certain food products. Pig farming has achieved significant success in ten years – today the country meets its domestic pork needs by more than 100%, as well as develops the export potential of this area. Poultry, pork and cattle are the traditional types of meat for the country, while the active development of pig farming in recent years and the associated provision of affordable pork prices have made this type of meat the most popular. The study compares the main indicators characterizing the development of pig farming in comparison with poultry and cattle meat from the period 2018-2024. In the course of the work, it was found that pig farming is able to compete with poultry farming in terms of the volume of products produced and sold, despite the continuing gap in price levels. In 2024, pork exceeded poultry meat for the first time in terms of the share of total meat sales, occupying 43.2% of the market. Previously, poultry meat prices were significantly lower than pork and cattle meat, which determined the high demand for it. However, in dynamics, the price level for poultry and cattle meat grew at a higher rate, as a result of which in 2023-2024. The prices of poultry and pork producers have almost leveled – 117 and 120 thousand rubles per ton, respectively, and the prices of cattle meat are 40-45% higher than indicated.
