EU-28: Livestock and Products Semi-annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The cattle and swine sector suffered from a dry summer especially in the Northern part of the EU. The shortage of fodder elevated the slaughter of cattle and caused a further decline in the size of the herd. Most of the additional beef supply will be absorbed by the domestic market. Despite many challenges facing the EU swine sector, a record crop of piglets and pork production is forecast to support pork exports to increase to a significantly higher level this year. China is expected to be the main growth market.
