In 2015 swine inventories decreased by four 4 percent due to reduced prices and export restrictions of pork caused by outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF). The outbreak of ASF and continuation of the Russian import ban in 2016 are the major factors adversely affecting the Latvian swine production later in 2016 and in 2017. Production of pork in 2016 is expected to increase by seven percent because of reduction of inventories and higher slaughter stemming from unfavorable economic conditions for swine production. Cattle inventories are expected to increase in 2016 because growing numbers of beef cattle will offset reduction in the dairy cow herd.
