Lithuania: Livestock and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Russian ban on imports of live swine and restrictions on exports of pork caused by the outbreak of African Swine Fever (ASF) resulted in a 5 percent decrease of swine inventories in 2014 and are expected to further adversely affect swine numbers in 2015. Production of pork in 2015 is expected to decrease by 5 percent as a result of lower swine inventories. In 2015 the reduction of dairy cattle numbers is expected to be offset by higher inventories of beef cattle.
