Tridge summary

Primorye has seen a significant decrease in the production of major livestock products, with a 29.6% drop in the first nine months of 2024, according to Rosstat. The decline is largely due to outbreaks of African swine fever at the Rusagro-Primorye pig-breeding complex and small farms, leading to a loss of over 4 billion rubles. The region has also experienced a decrease in chicken egg production and milk production due to disease among livestock, leading to price increases in sterilized and pasteurized milk. The primary causes of the decline in livestock production are disease outbreaks among livestock, with the region planning to achieve self-sufficiency in pork by 2028 and increase chicken egg self-sufficiency to 70% by 2027.
