unian--2020-06-22--Ukraine launching New Pig Production-2025 program

The goal is to help solve the problem of global pork shortage and make Ukraine one of the leading competitors in the meat market .
The New Pig Production-2025 program for Ukraine aims to build the pig herd to 20 million head by 2025 , produce 1 million tonnes of pork for the domestic market and 2 million tonnes for exports .
An ambitious investment project to revive pig farming in Ukraine has been announced by the Meat Industry Association , which unites 20 leading meat processing companies , The Pig Site reports .
According to Mykola Babenko , executive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukrainian meat processors are concerned about major negative factors regarding meat supply : overspending in pig farming leading to high prices for finished pigs , even comparing to imported meats ; massive closures of over 2,000 pig farms over the past six years ; the reduction of number of pigs and the shortage of local pigs for meat processing needs partly covered by pork imports from the EU and Canada .
All this has led to meat prices rising to unaffordable levels .
`` We have decided not to wait for the hundreds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initiating a 5-year Program to support the development of pig farming in Ukraine — New Pig Production-2025 .
It 's aim is to stimulate the breeding of pigs for the needs of the meat industry of Ukraine up to 20 million heads at a time and more .
This is the number of pigs Ukraine has had in 1991 , so it ’ s not an abstract goal ” , Mykola Babenko said .
As of January 1 , 2020 , the total number of pigs in 24 regions of Ukraine has hit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heads .
Of these , only 3.3 million are raised within industrial pig farming .
For comparison , some countries and territories comparable in size to one region of Ukraine keep more pigs : Denmark – 12 million ; Belgium – 6.1 million ; Belgorod region of Russia that borders Ukraine – 4 million pigs .
At the same time , the consumption of pork per capita per year is 45 kilos in the EU , 40 in China , 38 in Belarus , 30 in Russia , and just 15 in Ukraine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ traditional product .
Currently , the capacities of Ukrainian meat processing companies are less than half loaded .
Domestic pork consumption has the potential to at least double in volumes .
Also , there is a global shortage of pork , which is yet to be covered , that adds another 10 million tonnes .
These numbers surpass the current pork production in Ukraine by 16 times .
According to global market forecasts , the pork deficit will remain as a market factor for the next 5-10 years .
Pig prices in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 48 % and remain favorable for exporters regardless of pandemic disruptions in logistics and consumption .
This brings good profits to pig farmers and meat processors in the EU .
Yet , due to the high density of livestock in the EU combined with ecological restrictions and adoption of Farm to Fork Strategy , that promotes the expansion of organic farms , pig producers in the EU do n't have much room to boost supply .
Instead , hundreds of farms in the Netherlands alone are currently receiving government aid to shut the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impact .
Such factors wo n't be relevant in Ukraine any time soon due to availability of vast farmlands , and of thousands of abandoned farms that were shut because of multiple reasons , but mainly because of the failure to adapt modern efficient production technologies by previous owners .
`` Our goal is to help solve the problem of global pork shortage and make Ukraine one of the leading competitors in the meat market .
Ukrainian chicken has already achieved global success , now it ’ s pork ’ s time .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Animal Breeding , with the financial support of the Meat Industry Association participants , we are ready to support the expansion and modernization of existing pig farms , along with guidance for the new investors — Ukrainian and foreign farmers who have interest in pig farming projects with the return on investment rate of about 100 percent per year .
We guarantee sustainable profits , sales , legal protection and comprehensive investment support , '' Mykola Babenko summed up .

Speaking of the Polish-Ukrainian history, the politician said it is common knowledge that "the truth about this history is painful for both the Poles and the Ukrainians".
"But when we think about friendship for the future we have to come back to the truth, we have to find the truth, because only the truth can allow us to avoid the falls of the past," he said.
"We should study, research, promote the truth about the history because only the truth can be the basis for real friendship between nations," concluded Zalewski.
