Power outages are causing significant issues for pork market operators in Ukraine, leading to scheduled and emergency disruptions that affect both the price stability and production workflow.

The high costs of alternative energy sources, such as diesel generator electricity, are compounding the financial strain on producers and processors, especially during prolonged outages.
