Ukraine's meat processing industry has seen a 3.8% increase in pig meat production between January and August 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, according to the Association of Pig Breeders of Ukraine. The production of chilled, frozen pork and other products reached 211.6 thousand tons, which is 7.8 thousand tons more than the previous year.
