The Polish Agricultural Ministry tries to combat the continuing decline in the pig population. Estimates are that in early 2023 the number of pigs in Poland dropped to 9.6 million heads, the lowest number since the 1950s.

Janusz Piechociński, former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy said that small and medium-sized slaughterhouses across the country massively suspended operations due to problems in the pig industry. He estimated that the situation keeps deteriorating as the daily slaughter rate in Poland now stands at 40,000 heads, compared to 75,000 heads last year.
