roducers have been walking on a knife blade in the last few months, and there was very little chance for the situation to change by the end of the year. The crisis has led to a sharp fall in the Ukrainian pig herd, with the number of pigs falling by 6%, or 462,000 in the first five months of the year and continuing to decline rapidly.
The main impact from this situation will be felt by the private sector, which accounts for 40% of the total pig stock in the country, said Yaroslavsky.
