Swine inventories are expected to grow by 3 percent in 2015 due to low prices of feed and continuing demand for pork on the domestic market. Low level of farm-gate prices for swine, outbreak of African Swine Fever and introduction of Russian import ban in 2014 are the major factors inhibiting faster recovery of the Polish swine production later in 2015 and in 2016. Production of pork in 2015 is expected to increase by 3 percent as a result of higher swine inventories and growing imports of piglets from Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Cattle inventories are expected to stabilize in 2015 and 2016 because of lower prices for calves destined for export and reduced farm-gate milk prices. Production of beef is expected to increase by 2 percent in 2015 and 2016 due to higher slaughter.
