Pig production in Belarus has decreased by almost 12% over the past two years. Production has decreased in all regions and has halved in Gomel Oblast. The pig inventory has decreased by more than 11% or 290,000 heads. The biggest reductions have been in Gomel Oblast and Minsk Oblast. Pig mortality has increased in almost every part of the country. The number of piglets has gone down by 8%.

The head of state pointed out some of the causes of the problems including biosecurity violations: insufficient work on rodent and bird control, disinfection, and provision of protective clothing. There have also been problems with false reporting and concealment of pig mortality numbers.

The head of state believes that the current situation requires basic technological and labor discipline, better breeding and pedigree work, and improved compound feed formulations. He also stressed the need to upgrade pig barns stating that almost 70% of facilities were built more than 20 years ago.
