2509.178 thousand head of livestock were recorded in small agricultural enterprises in Russia at the end of 2022, and by the end of 2023 the figure was 2053.488.

The table presents data across ninety-two rows, each corresponding to an individual constituent entity of the Russian Federation or the country as a whole, allowing for comparisons between regions
Chart of livestock population in small agricultural enterprises in Russia in 2022 and 2023

How to read this table
The row breakdown helps compare the performance of small enterprises in different parts of the country, from Belgorod to Voronezh Oblast. Readers can see the difference in livestock population between neighboring regions or assess the nationwide trend over two years. Each row contains data recorded at the end of the reporting period, making the information useful for analyzing regional agricultural specialization and small business development dynamics
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Russian Federation — Cattle (2,509), Russian Federation — Sheep and goats (2,053), Russian Federation — including cows (1,054), Russian Federation — Pigs (862.9), Central Federal District — Cattle (543.9). The gap between the highest and lowest is 5,515 times. The top five account for 91.2% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, with 2 observation periods in the dataset. There are 50 values in the table out of 50 possible, which is 100% — nearly all cells are filled
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2022 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
