Customs statistics data show that in January-April 1.08 thsd tons of fresh, cooled and frozen pork were brought out from Ukraine. Import in this period was about 1.56 thsd tons with the total cost of $ 2.13 mln. As a result, Ukraine is in the red for pigs’ carcass trade, according to PigUA.
More than the third part of imported production was bought in Germany; the fourth part was from Poland, 21.3% — from Netherlands and less than 18% fall to pig suppliers from other countries. As for export channels, traders focused on neighboring countries — Armenia and Georgia. 48.2% and 19.4% of Ukrainian pork were directed there.
