The quota for poultry imports in 2011 will drop in order to boost local production, while quotas for imports of beef and pork will remain unchanged, the head of Russia's Meat Union said Wednesday.

Quotas for beef and pork imports will be kept at levels earlier announced by the Economic Development Ministry, Mamikonyan added.

Pork production is seen growing at 8 percent to 9 percent in 2010 and at 10 percent next year, Mamikonyan said.
Russia could become self-sufficient in poultry and pork before 2013, the head of the country's top meat producer Cherkizovo told a Reuters Summit in September.
