Estonia: Livestock and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Estonian Swine inventories are expected to decrease by 7 percent in 2015 due to slaughter of pigs in the areas affected by African Swine Fever (ASF). Low level of farm-gate prices for swine, outbreak of ASF and introduction of the Russian import ban in 2014 are the major factors adversely affecting Estonian swine production later in 2015 and in 2016. Production of pork in 2015 is expected to decrease by 6 percent as a result of lower swine inventories and high level of losses caused by ASF. Cattle inventories are expected to increase in 2015 because of the growing number of beef cattle. Production of beef is expected to decline in 2015 due to higher exports of life cattle.
