Including - 5 enterprises (≈10% of the industrial pig population at the beginning of the year), which are under occupation or in the territories close to the war zone. The remaining operators gradually implement plans for further development: - 6% of respondents (total number of about 330 thousand heads) increase pork production by fattening to the planned capacity; - 6% of surveyed enterprises (more than 160 thousand heads) are planning to replace or increase the number of pig breeders. 4% of the farms (about 330 thousand heads) are now reconstructing new production facilities, - 3 companies have plans to restart production, " stated in the analytical department of the Association Ukranian Pig Breeders.
