In 2014 swine inventories decreased by 5 percent due to reduced prices and export restrictions of pork caused by outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF). The outbreak of ASF and continuation of Russian import ban in 2015 are the major factors adversely affecting the Latvian swine production later in 2015 and in 2016. Production of pork in 2015 is expected to decrease by 7 percent as a result of lower swine inventories. Cattle inventories are expected to increase in 2015 because of the growing number of beef cattle.
