Ukraine: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
In 2023, Ukraine's cattle inventory and beef production remained on a three-decade-long downward trend. The decrease in consumer numbers and comparatively high beef prices resulted in a domestic consumption drop and increased exports of both live cattle for slaughter and beef. Production and consumption are expected to decrease further in 2024. The swine inventory is expected to be stable in 2024. The swine herd is expected to remain stable in 2024. A surge in EU pork prices in 2023 led to lower imports from the EU and incentivized domestic production. As a result, the swine herd did not decline in 2023 as much as previously expected. Pork production is expected to grow insignificantly in 2024. A possible pork price decline may lead to slight import growth, but no return to massive imports is expected in 2024 due to stable domestic production and consumption. Ukraine remains an African Swine Fever-affected country, with most export markets closed.
