IMPLEMENTATION OF CUSTOMS PROTECTIONISM ON THE EXAMPLE OF MEAT INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES IN THE NORTH-WEST

The article examines the instruments of customs protectionism (including tariff incentives, tariff quotas) used in Russia to regulate the meat and meat products market. The official statistical indicators reflecting the volume of imports and the vol- ume of domestic production of meat products are analyzed. It is determined that the necessary level of food security has been achieved in Russia in terms of the provision of meat products included in the list of socially significant products. It has been es- tablished that the North-Western region remains dependent on imported meat products, as a result, the instruments of customs protectionism are sensitive for participants in foreign economic activity.
