Due to the blocking of ports and complicated exports, agrarians are beginning to experience an increasing lack of financial resources. This was reported by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food on June 27.

In June, a new enterprise, Eco Piglets LLC, joined the ranks of the Association of Ukranian Pig Breeders. What could be more important in times of war than unity?

Today, most commercial pig farms are equipped with ventilation and cooling systems.

According to preliminary estimates, the industrial pig herd declined by 10% during the war. How has this affected the balance of the pork market?

Ukrainian law does not provide a clear answer as to whether the head of a working farm in occupied territory is a traitor. Today many agricultural enterprises remain under occupation. All of them may fall under the article for collaborationism, because in one way or another they cooperate with the occupation authorities. And this is despite the fact that at the beginning of the spring sowing season President Vladimir Zelensky urged farmers to sow all over Ukraine, including in the occupied territories.

As a result of Russia's full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, a number of communities and agricultural producers in Ukraine are suffering from war. In response, the USAID Agrarian and Rural Development Program-AGRO, together with the GS All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council and the All-Ukrainian Association of Communities, are implementing projects to support communities and agrarian producers in order to ensure food security.

According to data from the European Commission, Germany’s finished pig slaughter during the first two months of 2022 fell by 9% (790,000 head) year-on-year to 7.9 million head. This meant that overall production fell by 11% to 755,000 tonnes. Declines in the breeding herd, and indeed the entire pig population have constrained production, This is forecast to continue for the rest of the year due to ASF, and because of poor profitability in the sector.

In recent years, Ukraine has been implementing a national food quality and safety control system equivalent to the European Union system, which is based on the important principle of ensuring control "from field to table". Much has also been done to adapt the Ukrainian legislation to the EU regulations in the framework of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU.

In China, the mood on the slaughter pig market has brightened slightly, because the slaughter pig prices have risen by around 43% compared to March and are therefore again above the break even point despite higher feed costs.

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Foodstuffs of Ukraine is putting maximum efforts and attention on the adjustment of the logistics of agricultural exports. The Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine Mykola Solsky told about the decisions and changes that the agro-industrial complex has undergone since the war.

That is stated in the analysis "An Overview of Indirect Losses from the War in Ukrainian Agriculture" prepared by the team of the Center for Food and Land Management Research of the KSE Institute jointly with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.
