Yushin noted that there is a decrease in the number of pigs in the regions adjacent to Ukraine , which makes it difficult to restore production at some pig farms. The weather also has a negative impact on livestock breeders, as pigs do not tolerate heat well, which leads to a decrease in weight gain. In addition, there is an increase in prices for resources necessary for production, such as electricity, gas and water, as well as an increase in wages to retain employees. All this creates additional problems for increasing the volume of MEAT product production.
