Ukraine: Livestock and Products Semi-annual

Post expects a continued decline in livestock numbers in 2026 due to general inefficiencies in Ukraine's beef sector. A significant decrease in milk prices in the second half of 2025 resulted in the least efficient dairy farms and households exiting the market. Post expects swine inventory and pork production to grow in 2026. African swine fever will remain a significant risk factor. Both the cattle and swine industries will continue to suffer from war-related difficulties.
