Ukraine is experiencing a shortage of piglets due to African swine fever and farms near conflict areas halting operations. Serhii Kvasov, deputy director of 'Podilskyi Bekon' LLC, a piglet raising company, highlighted the affordability issue of their products and the rising costs of fodder and grain. 'Podilskyi Bacon' relies on purchased raw materials, leading to increased production costs. Kvasov noted that vertically integrated enterprises with their own raw material base are currently thriving in the industry.
