Ukraine’s livestock market. Strategic changes under the pressure of war

Ukraine’s livestock industry is undergoing a transformation under the influence of internal and external factors, requiring adaptation to new market conditions and standards.

Currently, despite the challenges of recent years, animal husbandry is showing some positive developments. In the industrial sector, production volumes are increasing, exports of certain types of products are growing, and investments in construction and modernisation are being restored.

The grain and oilseed industry more than meets the needs of livestock farming for feed production. With the start of the war and increased risks in grain exports, domestic processing of raw materials, including for livestock farming, has become particularly important.

An important aspect of the industry’s development and market expansion is its adaptation to EU and global regulatory standards.

The study analyses the key factors influencing the formation of priority areas for livestock development in the medium term, taking into account the modelling of scenarios.
