A source of pride has been found in Ukraine
Ukrainian chicken producers are among the most efficient in the world and are the pride of the country, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was announced by Nikolai Babenko, General Director of the Center for Increasing Efficiency in Livestock Production LLC.
“Today, among all livestock sectors, only poultry farming is a source of pride. The cost of 1 kg of live poultry in Ukraine is at the level with Brazil - 0,65 euros, excluding VAT. At the same time, in Europe this figure is 0,82 euro cents. That is, the cost of 1 kg of live poultry in Ukraine is one third lower than in the EU,” he said.
“Take, for example, the pig industry. The cost of live pigs in the EU is 0,8 euros (23,5 UAH) per 1 kg of live weight, in Brazil, the USA and Canada - 0,7 euros. According to the Association “Pig Breeders of Ukraine”, the actual cost of live commercial pigs is 37-41 UAH/kg. This data is one of the answers to the question why pork is more expensive in Ukraine than in Poland,” says the expert.
Last year, Ukraine rose to sixth place in the world ranking of chicken exporters, overtaking Russia and Canada. In EU countries, Ukraine is among the three main suppliers.
Poultry farmers provided Ukraine with $2018 million in foreign exchange earnings in 500, of which $450 million is the share of Yuriy Kosyuk’s agricultural holding Myronivsky Hliboproduct (MHP), which is the main exporter in the country. The company carries out 88,2% of all external supplies of poultry meat to international markets.
