EU-28: Livestock and Products Annual

The shortage of rainfall since the summer of 2018 has been affecting the supply of fodder and consequently has led to a decline of the EU dairy and beef cow herd. Despite falling slaughter and beef production, a temporary increase in beef exports is forecast for 2019 given the volume of stocks established in 2018. The EU swine sector is benefiting from increased demand from China. Supported by this demand, EU pork production and exports are forecast to reach new records in 2019 and 2020. Continued expansion of the swine sector, however, may be limited by environmental regulations.
