Abstracts of Lyubov Savkina's presentation at the ProStarch 2026 conference

Introducing the speakers of the ProStarch 2026: From Raw Materials to Bioeconomy conference. Lyubov Savkina is an independent expert-analyst and founder of SAVKINA EXPERT GROUP agency.

The expert will speak on the topic: “Focus on the technological transformation of feed production. Which Agroinsight will be decisive for Russia's biotechnological breakthrough?”

Speech announcement:

— The globalization of the meat market poses a strategic challenge for the Russian agro-industrial complex. The logic of “more heads - more meat” is being replaced by the paradigm of “lower cost - higher competitiveness”. The foundation for this is the transition to efficient feeding, where compound feed becomes a high-tech matrix of nutrients. This creates a qualitatively new, growing (leading) demand for deep grain processing products, where the margin can be an order of magnitude higher than that of raw materials. This refers to amino acids, vitamins, premixes, specialized protein concentrates, etc.

— What drives demand now: by animal types, domestic demand, exports.

— Three clear scenarios for the development of the amino acid and vitamin market in Russia until 2030, from inertial to breakthrough, each with its own investment logic.

— A step-by-step guide for investors from understanding livestock needs to forecasting demand for processed products: how to calculate market capacity for a specific processed product and build a business model tied to the real needs of livestock breeders.

— The time for decision-making is 2026-2027, as the construction cycle is 3-5 years. And in order to start producing our own feed raw materials for premixes by 2030, action must be taken now. Consolidation of the chain “science — state with support for R&D and investors — grain producer — processor — livestock breeder” is important as the only way to create a globally competitive product.
