Ukraine: Livestock and Products Semi-annual
The efficiency of Ukraine’s beef production remains low, with most beef derived from dairy animals. Post expects livestock numbers and beef production to decrease in 2025, continuing a three-decade-long trend. Ukraine will remain a large live cattle exporter, with the Middle East as the primary export market, but exports of both live animals and beef will be depressed by lower animal inventory. In 2025, swine inventory is expected to decrease further after the 2024 drop caused by African Swine Fever (ASF). The number of ASF cases was significant in January-February 2025, endangering production in both household and industrial farms; however, the production decline is likely to be small and will depend on ASF developments over the rest of the year. Ukraine will have to resume pork imports to sustain domestic consumption.
