In January-November 2017, Ukraine exported 2.8 thousand tons (more than 30 thousand units) of live pigs to Georgia. The total cost of shipments is $ 4.37 million. So, according to the results of 11 months of the year, external deliveries of slaughterhouse animals exceeded the total export of live pigs in 2016 both quantitatively and costly.
During the second half of 2017, 41 cases of ASF among domestic pigs were recorded in Ukraine, almost one third less than in the first half of this year (70 cases) and in the second half of 2016 (73 cases).
In the subsidiary farm of the Horodyshchenska correctional colony No. 96 (Rivne region), disease and death of pigs were recorded. This is reported by the press service of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
Purchasing prices for pigs slaughter conditions for the third week in a row try to stay within the limits of 46-48 UAH / kg. The average price level though exceeds the level of 47 UAH / kg, but more and more is approaching the middle of the mentioned range.
According to the latest data of the State Statistics Service, in early November there were 6.7 million pigs in Ukraine. This is 0.65 million head or 8.9% less compared to a year earlier.
