The volume of egg production in the pandemic in Ukraine has dropped sharply - in two years, more than 30 egg production facilities and more than 9 poultry meat production facilities were closed. So, according to the Association "Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine", since the beginning of the year, poultry meat production has decreased by 40 thousand tons, and egg production - by 3 billion pieces (a quarter of the production volume in 2020).

In July-August of this year, Ukraine for the first time since independence imported edible eggs from Belarus. The rise in prices for gas, electricity, and, most importantly, forage crops (by 60%) aggravates the situation. And the bumper crop will also not change this trend.

"We assume that prices for poultry meat and eggs will continue to grow. Considering even the fact that the normative monetary value of the land will double (if such a decision is made), this will entail a certain increase in prices for crop products," the director of the Union of Poultry Breeders of Ukraine Serhiy Karpenko notes.
