Abstract: The meat market is one of the largest segments of the food market, both in terms of capacity and the number of participants. In conditions of saturation of domestic demand, domestic producers consider meat export as a promising direction of their activities. In this regard, the purpose of the work is to analyze the main trends and factors in the development of domestic meat exports. To achieve the goal, methods of economic analysis, econometric modeling, and the method of expert assessments were used. The results of the study showed that sanctions and the food embargo stimulated exports, at the same time, difficulties emerged with the supply of foreign resources. The supply of Russian products may be in demand in the rapidly growing Asian markets, mainly in China, the largest meat market in the world. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the price competitiveness of domestic products. One of the approaches to assessing the influence of factors on the development of exports is the gravity model. The simulation results showed that with an increase in the distance between trading partners, exports grow, since the main deliveries of products are made to Asian countries farther from the Russian capital. The value of the tariff in the importing country and the ruble exchange rate are of low importance. The presence of a common border between trading partners has a positive impact on the development of exports, while, a common language is not so important for export development. Regional integration (CIS and EAEU) plays an important role in the development of exports. The assessment of the impact of the sanctions is very significant and positive, which is explained by the fact that the preferences of manufacturers in the context of a sharp depreciation of the ruble were more related to exports.
