Comments on the results of the slaughter statistics 2010 in Belgium
Since 2010, as part of administrative simplification, the required figures have been collected from data
available from the FASFC (Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain) database, ending the
monthly slaughterhouse survey that had been mandatory since 1968.
This change has caused a trend break between 2009 and 2010. The FASFC data are more complete
than the previous survey data. Changes are visible in the breakdown by cattle categories, in pig
slaughterings, which show a 5% increase because of the new method; and in sheep and lamb
slaughterings, which now include Islamic slaughterings. Also goat slaughterings have increased
because of the new source.
A backcast has not yet been made, as this would require a thorough study. Older data (until 2009) are
less precise and incomparable with newer data (from 2010 onwards). The trend break for these
categories should be mentioned in publications.
The market for female cattle, more specifically the O and P classes, seems to have recovered. The
temporary knock-on effect of higher prices abroad in 2008 and 2009 on these categories has been
counterbalanced. This explains the increase in the number of slaughtered female animals and a
decrease in slaughter weight in 2010, because these animals are again traded on the Belgian market.

Cattle
Preliminary results of the survey in November 2010
The total number of cattle (including buffaloes) decreased by about 3% to 531 thousand heads
as the most significant is the reduction of cattle in category 1 to 2 years (-11.5%). Animals
under 1 year decreased by 5.9% to 134 thousand heads. The number of animals of 2 years and
more almost remained the same (-0.7%). Cows decreased by 0.7% - dairy cows decreased by
1.8% and other cows increased by about 20% and reached 19 thousand.
Cattle slaughtered in 2010
According to preliminary data, the number of slaughtered cattle in 2010 decreased 10%
compared to 2009, more significant is the reduction in slaughtering of cows (-17.0%) and calves
up to 1 year (-11.2%).Slaughtering of bulls increases by 25.8%.
Forecast of gross indigenous production (GIP) :
Gross indigenous production is calculated on base of monthly slaughtering and carried out
foreign trade of live animals. GIP forecast for 2011 is made based on the number of live
animals to till November 1, 2010 and calculated rates of real GIP for the previous 3 years. GIP
for the first half of 2012 is calculated using a linear trend. Expectations are that the slaughtering
of bulls, cows and heifers will continue to decrease slightly. For slaughter of calves up to 1 year
has expected increase in slaughtering in 2011 by 4.1%. The level of slaughtering of cattle- total
in 2011 is maintained for 2010 (+0.8%) and the slaughtering slightly reduce in the first half of
2012 compared to 2011 (-2.1%).

Foreign Trade
Compared to 2009 exports of live cattle decreased by 21.2% due to reduced export of calves (24.2%). There was a slight increase in exports of bulls and cows. Imports of live cattle has
increased 5 times in 2010. Imported mainly breeding animals - heifers (2.2 thousand units), 364
cows and 557 bulls. In 2010 Bulgaria imported more than 11 thousand tons of cattle
meat.Exports of cattle meat fell by about 70% to 342 tonnes.
Prices
The agricultural producers prices of cattle in 2010 marked a slight increase in cows for
fattening (0.5%), in heifers (0.1%) and calves up to 1 year (4.6%). Price reduction is in cattle 1
to 2 years (-2.8%).
Pigs
Preliminary results of the survey in November 2010
The total number of pigs in 2010 decreased by 9.0% to 664 thousand. Substantially reduce of
the category of young pigs from 20 to 50 kg (-28%) and pigs for fattening (-5.1%). Decreased
by 7.6% female breeding sows: - sows mated for first time -decreased by 21.8%, breeding gilts
not yet mated decreased by 21.1%.
Pigs slaughtered in 2010
Slaughtered pigs in 2010 decreased by 8.3% compared to 2009 and produced meat decreased by
5.8%. A reduction in slaughtered pigs to 50 kg of 51.4% and fattening pigs by 7.2%. The
number of slaughtered “other pigs” increased by 17.5%.
Forecast of gross indigenous production of pigs (GIP)
GIP of pigs expected in 2011 is 7.7% less than 2010, which corresponds to the reduction of
female breeding pigs, respectively by 7.5% less in the first two quarters of 2012 to 2011
Foreign Trade
Imports and exports of live pigs is immaterial - in 2010 are imported 17 thousand pigs, and they
are about 25% less than 2009. Import of meat remain essential and in 2010 - about
98 340 tons (3.6 % less than 2009).
Exported pigs meat is 1 315 tons.
Prices
In 2010 the price of live weight of piglets to 20 kg is 21.3 percent higher than 2009, and of the
young pigs 20 to 50 kg is 7.1% higher. Reduction or keeping prices at a fattened pig - in the
category 50 to 80 kg - 0.0%. For fattened pigs from 80 to 110 kg, price decreased by 6.9%. For
pigs more than 110 kg price decreased by 5.2%.
Sheep and goats
Preliminary results of the survey in November 2010:
The total number of sheep in 2010 decreased by 2.3% compared to 2009. Ewes and ewe-lambs
put to the ram decreased by 3.6% .Dairy ewes and ewe -lambs put to the ram decreased by
5.3%. Other ewes and ewe -lambs put to the ram increased 26.6 %, while the other sheep are
4.6% more than in 2009 .
Goats decreased by 1.2% compared to 2009.Goats which have already kidded and Goats mated
for the first time are 9.2 percent less, while the other goats are 64.4% more.

Slaughtered sheep and goats in 2010
In 2010 slaughtering of sheep is 9.5% less than 2009, and production of meat was 0.8% less.
Slaughtered goats were 16.6% less, and production of meat is 10.0% less.
Forecast of gross indigenous production of sheep and goats (GIP)
GIP estimate of sheep in 2011 is 18.0 percent less than 2010, of goats by 0.7% less.
Foreign Trade
Imports of live sheep in 2010 remained level since 2009 - 268 thousand sheep are imported for
slaughter (-1.4%).
In 2010 Bulgaria exported 169 thousand sheep, which is over 8 times more than in 2009. The
export of meat from sheep is reduced from 4955 tons in 2009 on 3592 tons in 2010 (27.5 %
less).
Prices
The price of live lambs for fattening sheep to 6 months in 2010 was 5% higher than 2009, and
the kids up to 6 months was 9.1% higher.

Cattle
Results of the December survey
The survey carried out in December 2010 showed the following results:
 Total number of cattle was slightly lower than in 2009 (changed by -2.7 % and counted for
1 319 407 heads), change in number of cows by -2.5 % corresponded with that in total cattle
 Number of bovines under 12 months increased by 7.8 % in the category not intended for slaughter
 In the category of bovines aged between one and two years, number of heifers for slaughter
rapidly decreased (by 28.6 %) and number of males stayed on the same level as in 2009 (by 0.4 %
higher)
These findings show categories intended for breeding and replacement were preferred, which was a
consequence of increased milk prices (by 18.6 % year-on-year).
Production forecasts
Considering trends in cattle farming and trade in live bovine animals in 2010, GIP forecasts for 2011
and 2012 were compiled. Growing producer price of milk straightened towards costs and relative
stable price of meat (beef and veal) stopped a grave trend of reduction of the cattle population
noticeable in 2008 and 2009. A slight recovery of dairy cow population is expected, but no substantial
changes in trade are supposed owing to a small importance of the amount of live cattle.
Slaughtering in 2010
Beef production (including veal) in 2010 amounted to 74 259 tonnes and declined by 3.6% in
comparison to 2009. The smallest decrease in number of slaughtered animals was achieved in bulls
(by 3.0%), the largest one in cows (by 9.1%). The latter showed that farmers had culled smaller
number of cows than in the previous year.

Trade in live animals
Trade in live bovine animals reached a positive balance (46 288 tonnes of live weight) in 2010. Import
amounted to 1 166 tonnes and was lower by 40.9% year-on-year. Export decreased by 8.9% to 47 454
tonnes. A proportion of animals for slaughter counted for 88.0% of the total import and for 53.0% of
the total export. The largest amount of live bovine livestock was imported from Slovakia (87%);
exports predominantly went to Austria (41%), Croatia (11%), and to Germany (10%).
Prices
Agricultural producer prices of cattle for slaughter were year-on-year higher in bulls (by 0.5%). In
other categories, prices went down: in heifers by 1.8%, in cows by 2.7%, and in calves by 4.3%.
Consumption
Consumption of beef was 9.4 kg per capita in 2009; the figure for 2010 is not yet available. Proportion
of beef from the total meat consumption was 11.9%. The gradually decreasing consumption is
probably connected with a slowly reduced popularity of red meat.
Pigs
Results of the December survey
The survey in December 2010 showed the following results:
 Total number of pigs counted for 1 845 954 heads and declined by 3.5% compared to 2009, which
corresponds with the decrease in the particular categories (up to 5%) except sows (by 10.0%)
 Considerable decrease was found in category of mated sows (15.1% in those mated for the first
time and 11.0% in the others)
It is obvious that an undesirable reduction of pig population was continuing in 2010, in particular in
the crucial category – in sows. Despite reduced number of sows, decrease in young and fattened pigs
was not so considerable. It gives an evidence of increased import of young pigs intended for fattening
and slaughter.
Production forecasts
GIP in pigs is expected to be declining for the period of the next six quarters. It respects trends in
slaughtering (slightly decreasing), import of live animals (increasing), and subsequently increasing
import of pig meat. This situation is a consequence of the low profitability in pig farming, rising costs
due to increased price of cereals, and declining producer prices of pig meat.
Slaughtering in 2009
Pig meat production in 2010 was by 3.0% lower than in 2009. In the category of pigs for slaughter
(without culled sows and boars), number decreased by 4.0%, but meat production went down just by
3.1% due to their slightly higher average carcass weight (by 0.9%).
Foreign trade
Trade statistics on live pigs revealed a deficit of 4 980 tonnes in 2010. Imports were by 12.9% lower
(22 051 tonnes in total) and exports were by 70.9% higher than in 2009 (17 071 tonnes in total).
Animals for slaughter comprised 49.2% and 94.4% of import and export, respectively. The year-onyear differences were mainly caused by decreased import (by 36.0%) and increased export (by 73.5%)
in category of pigs more than 50 kg of live weight. Live pigs were imported mostly from Denmark
(44%), the Netherlands (26%), and Germany (20%); they were exported to Slovakia (48%) and
Hungary (46%).
Prices
Agricultural producer prices in pigs for slaughter declined year-on-year by 8.8%.

Consumption
Consumption of pig meat was 40.9 kg per capita in 2009; it means 51.9 % of the total meat
consumption. Pig meat is the most popular meat in the Czech Republic; its consumption was not
obviously changing during last ten years.
Sheep and goats
Numbers of sheep and goats in the Czech Republic are surveyed for a national use as at April 1st. In
2010, the numbers counted for 196 913 and 21 709 heads in sheep and goats, respectively. The
population sizes in both, sheep and goats are below the threshold given by Regulation (EC) No.
1165/2008.

Rinder
Bestand
Der Gesamtbestand von Rindern und Kälbern verringerte sich auf der Basis der Erhebung im
November 2010 gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum um 1,5 % auf 12,7 Mio. Tiere. Der Rückgang um
190 000 Tiere ist etwas höher als in den beiden vorhergehenden Jahren.
Der Rinderbestand in Deutschland ist eng mit der Entwicklung des Milchmarktes verbunden. Der
Anstieg der Milchkuhbestände um 12 000 Tiere auf 4,18 Mio. Tiere (ein Plus von 0,3 %) im
November 2010 dürfte eine Auswirkung der wieder verbesserten Erlössituation in der
Milchproduktion sein. Dies zeigt auch der gleichzeitige Rückgang der Kuhschlachtungen um fast 4 %.
Der Bestand an Zucht- und Nutzfärsen ging um 1,9 % (52 000 Tiere) zurück. Dies ist einerseits
durch den Remontierungsbedarf der Milchkuhherden und andererseits durch höhere
Färsenschlachtungen und -exporte begründet.
Den größten Anteil am Rückgang des Rinderbestandes haben die Bullenbestände mit einem Minus
von 70 000 Tieren (-6,3 %), gefolgt von den männlichen Jungrindern mit einem Rückgang von 22 000
Stück (-4,2 %). Hier hat neben dem Abschmelzen der betriebsindividuellen Prämien auch die bis zum
Herbst anhaltende unbefriedigende Erzeugerpreissituation bei Jungbullen einen erheblichen Einfluss.
Zudem steht der Einsatz von Silomais in der Jungbullenmast in harter Konkurrenz mit der
Verwendung von Silomais in Biogasanlagen.
Der Bestand an Kälbern und Jungrindern ist insgesamt um 1,6 % (64 000 Tiere) geschrumpft. Sowohl
die Anzahl der Schlachtungen als auch der Nettoexport lagen über den Vorjahreswerten. In den Export
und zum Schlachten gehen überwiegend männliche Tiere während die weiblichen Tiere in den
Betrieben verbleiben. Etwa 60 % des aktuellen Bestandes sind weibliche Tiere.
Bei den sonstigen Kühen (Schlacht- und Mastkühe sowie Mutter- und Ammenkühe) setzte sich der
Bestandsabbau fort.

Betriebsstrukturen
Die Zahl der Rinderhaltungen ist zwischen November 2009 und 2010 um 3,5 % auf 175 000
Betriebe zurückgegangen. Der durchschnittliche Rinderbestand lag im November 2010 bei 73 Rindern
je Haltung gegenüber 71 Rindern je Haltung im November 2009 (+2 %). Der Rückgang der
Milchviehhaltungen liegt bei 4,4 % in Deutschland. In den 92 000 Betrieben stieg der
Durchschnittsbestand auf 46 Kühe/Haltung.
In Haltungen mit mehr als 100 Tieren stehen zwei Drittel der Rinder. Diese Betriebe repräsentieren 23
% der Betriebe insgesamt.
Bei den Milchkühen fanden im Jahr 2010 Zuwächse in den Größenklassen mit mehr als 50
Milchkühen statt. Diese Entwicklung kann durch die Entwicklung des Milchpreises begünstigt sein.
Derzeit stehen 35 % der Milchkühe in Haltungen mit mehr als 100 Tieren. Die großen Bestände
repräsentieren 8 % der Haltungen insgesamt.
Außenhandel
Im Jahr 2010 stieg die Ausfuhr von Färsen um rund 20 % auf voraussichtlich 100 000 Tiere an. Die
wichtigsten europäischen Abnehmerländer sind Italien, Belgien, die Niederlande und Spanien.
Außerhalb Europas sind Nordafrika und der Nahe Osten die wesentlichen Märkte.
Die Kälberexporte bewegten sich im Jahr 2010 mit rund 550 000 Tieren auf dem Vorjahresniveau.
Kühe (16 000 Tiere) und Bullen (13 000 Tiere) waren im Export von geringer Bedeutung. Bei den
Importen waren Schlachtkühe mit 63 000 Tieren trotz eines Rückgangs um 14 % gegenüber dem
Vorjahr von Bedeutung.
Der Rindfleischexport stieg gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 2,4 % auf 560 000 t an. Fast drei Viertel des
Exports gingen in die Niederlande, nach Frankreich, Italien oder Dänemark.
Die Rindfleischimporte sind im Jahr 2010 voraussichtlich auf 390 000 t gestiegen. Etwa 20 % dieser
Menge wurde aus Südamerika bezogen. Die restlichen Importe stammen überwiegend aus den
Niederlanden, Frankreich, Italien, Dänemark und Polen.
Der Außenhandelsüberschuss stieg im Jahr 2010 auf 170 000 t (+2,4 %).
Nettoerzeugung
Die Produktion von Rind- und Kalbfleisch stieg im Jahr 2010 auf 1,2 Mill t SG (+1,2 %). Die
Schlachtungen stiegen um +0,1 % auf knapp 3,8 Mill. Tiere an. Es wurden 1,59 Mill. Bullen und
Ochsen (+0,9 %), 1,33 Mill. Kühe (-3,7 %) und 0,53 Mill Färsen (+6,4 %) und damit 3,45 Mill.
Großrinder -0,1 % geschlachtet. Die Schlachtgewichte aller Tiere lagen im Mittel 1 % über dem
Vorjahr.
Bruttoeigenerzeugung
Die Bruttoeigenerzeugung (BEE), stieg im Jahr 2010 um 0,3 % auf 4,26 Mill. Tiere bzw. um 1,6 %
auf 1,22 Mill. t SG. Die BEE von Bullen und Ochsen stieg um 0,9 % auf 1,58 Mill. Stk. wegen der
erhöhten Schlachtungen zu Beginn des Jahres 2010 und auch im November/Dezember. Die BEE von
Färsen erhöhte sich innerhalb von zwei Jahren um 15 % auf 620 000 Tiere. Eine Erklärung ist der
konstante Kuhbestand und Kälberanfall. Die leicht steigende Aufzuchtquote weiblicher Kälber führt
zur Steigerung der BEE, die in höheren Färsenschlachtungen und steigendem Exportüberschuss von
Zuchtfärsen zum Ausdruck kommt.

Inlandsverbrauch und SVG
In der Versorgungsbilanz ist der Rindfleischverbrauch um 0,9 % auf 1,03 Mill. t gestiegen. Das
entspricht einem Verbrauch an Rind- und Kalbfleisch von 12,6 kg/Einwohner bzw. einem Verzehr
von 8,7 kg/Einwohner. Der Verbrauch pro Kopf ist damit gegenüber dem Vorjahr nur leicht gestiegen
(+ 1,3 %). Der Selbstversorgungsgrad erhöhte sich auf 118 %.
Preise
Der ungewichtete Jahresdurchschnitt für Jungbullen (R3) lag bei 3,15 Euro/kg SG und ist damit um
2,9 % höher als 2009. Bei Kühen wurden 2,46 Euro/kg SG gezahlt (+2,1 % gegenüber dem Vorjahr),
für Färsen waren es durchschnittlich 2,90 Euro/kg SG (0,6 % weniger).
Prognose
Wegen des weltweit knappen Angebots an Rindfleisch ist von steigenden Preisen auszugehen. In der
EU waren im letzten Quartal 2010 deutliche Preissteigerungen in allen Kategorien zu beobachten.
Höhere Produktionskosten auf Grund der stark anziehenden Futtermittelkosten sowie eine eher
rückläufige Produktion fördert die Erwartung steigender Rindfleischpreise im Jahr 2011.
Schweine
Bestand
Die Viehbestandserhebung vom November 2010 zeigt einen gegenüber November 2009 um 0,1 %
oder 30 000 Tiere gestiegenen Schweinebestand in Deutschland. Gegenüber der Maizählung stieg der
Bestand um 1,4 % bzw. 360 000 Tiere auf nun 26,87 Mill. Tiere an. Die Anhebung der unteren
Erfassungsgrenzen je Betrieb kann eine Unterschätzung im Bestandsvergleich zum November des
Vorjahres verursachen, die etwa 200 000 Tiere umfasst. Die Auswirkung dieses Sachverhaltes auf die
Produktion kann derzeit nicht abgeschätzt werden.
Der Sauenbestand ging von Mai bis November 2010 um 17 000 Tiere (-0,8 %) zurück. Bei den
Beständen von Ferkeln und Jungschweinen sind in den vergangenen Perioden Schwankungen
aufgetreten, die nicht eindeutig begründet sind. Der zusammengefasste Bestand dieser Kategorien
stieg von Mai bis November 2010 um knapp 270 000 Tiere (+2,1 %) an.
Der Mastschweinebestand stieg von Mai bis November 2010 um 110 000 Tiere (+1,0 %) auf 11,7
Mill. Tiere an. Eine starke Zunahme des Bestandes von schweren Mastschweinen um 9 % (84 000
Tiere) ist im gleichen Zeitraum zu beobachten. Bereits in den vorhergehenden Zeiträumen stieg dieser
Bestand an. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass es sich um einen Trend handelt, der auf den Anforderungen
des Marktes beruht und der nicht durch die Abstockung des Zuchttierbestandes verursacht wird.
Betriebsstrukturen
Zwischen Mai und November 2010 sank die Anzahl der Schweinehalter in der neuen Abgrenzung
unter 33 000 Betriebe (-1,4 %). Davon sind 15 500 Betriebe mit Zuchtschweinehaltung (-2,7 %). Der
Rückgang betraf überwiegend Betriebe mit Zuchtschweinehaltung im früheren Bundesgebiet. In den
östlichen Bundesländern kamen Betriebe mit Schweinehaltung hinzu.
Der Durchschnittsbestand an Schweinen stieg im gleichen Zeitraum um 3 % auf 817 Tiere und der
Zuchtschweinebestand um knapp 4 % auf 145 Tiere.

Nettoerzeugung
Die Nettoerzeugung (Schlachtungen) in Deutschland stieg 2010 um 3,5 % auf knapp 58,3 Mill. Tiere
bzw. um 3,5 % auf 5,45 Mill. t SG. Das durchschnittliche Schlachtgewicht erreichte 94,3 kg/Tier. Der
Anteil geschlachteter Schweine ausländischer Herkunft lag mit 25,6 % knapp über dem
Vorjahresniveau (25,1 %).
Bruttoeigenerzeugung
Die BEE stieg im Jahr 2010 um 1,9 % auf 46 Mill. Tiere an. Dies ist ein Plus von 900 000 Tieren. In t
SG stieg die BEE um 3,3 % auf 4,9 Mill. t an. Die umfangreiche Mast importierter Ferkel zeigt sich in
diesem Unterschied sehr deutlich.
Wie in den Vorjahren ist die Ursache der ungleichen Entwicklung von Nettoerzeugung und BEE die
Zufuhr von Schlachtschweinen (ca. 5 Mill. Tiere; -1,1 % gegenüber 2009) und von Ferkeln (9,8 Mill.
Tiere; +8,5 % gegenüber 2009) aus Dänemark und den Niederlanden.
Außenhandel
Die Lebendtierimporte aus Dänemark und den Niederlanden steigen seit Jahren an. Im Jahr 2010
wurden gegenüber dem Vorjahr zusätzlich 735 000 Tiere (+5 %) eingeführt. Die Importe insgesamt
erreichten 15 Mill. Stück. Der Lebendtierexport sank 2010 um 11 % auf 2,7 Mill. Tiere.
Bemerkenswert ist die Zunahme der Schlachttierexporte in Richtung Polen.
Die Ausfuhren von deutschem Schweinefleisch im Jahr 2010 stiegen nach vorläufigen Daten um 10
% auf 2,2 Mill. t SG. Beim Fleischexport dominiert der Handel mit EU-Staaten, wobei alle 27
Mitgliedstaaten beliefert werden. Der Anteil des Drittlandshandels an den Ausfuhren insgesamt stieg
auf 20 % (nach 15,6 % im Vorjahr).
Die Einfuhren an Schweinefleisch sind 2010 voraussichtlich um 5 % angewachsen. Hier spielen
Drittländer keine Rolle. Hauptlieferanten mit einem Anteil von rund 85 % sind Belgien, Dänemark,
die Niederlande und Spanien. Der Außenhandelsüberschuss liegt 2010 bei rund 1 Mill. t
Schweinefleisch (+19 % gegenüber 2009).
Verbrauch und SVG
Der Verbrauch stieg im Jahr 2010 um 0,8 % auf 54,4 kg/Einwohner an. Der Verzehr erreichte 39,2
kg/Einwohner.
Der Selbstversorgungsgrad stieg auf 110,1 % an. Die Ursache ist der in Relation zur BEE schwächer
angestiegene Verbrauch. Dies spiegelt sich auch im deutlich angestiegenen Außenhandelssaldo wider.
Preise
Der Erzeugerpreis lag im Jahr 2009 im Jahresdurchschnitt bei 1,39 Euro/kg Schlachtgewicht bezogen
auf das Mittel der Handelsklassen E-P. Im Jahr 2010 lag dieser Wert mit 1,38 Euro/kg um 1 % tiefer.
Der Dioxinskandal in Deutschland zu Beginn des Jahres 2011 führte zunächst zu drastischen
Erzeugerpreissenkungen. Im Jahresverlauf wird allerdings mit einer Normalisierung des
Inlandsgeschäftes und einer anziehenden Exportnachfrage gerechnet; dies dürfte wieder eine feste
Preisentwicklung mit sich bringen.

Cattle
According to preliminary data of Statistics Estonia, the total number of cattle at the end of December
2010 was 236 200. In comparison with year before, the number has increased by 1 500 heads. The
number of dairy cows at the end of last year was 95 700, which is 1 000 heads less than in 2009.
During the first six months in previous year, there was born 58 000 calves and in second half-year
46 400. In year 2009 there was born almost 2000 animals more (106 300).
In year 2010 22 568 tons (live weight) of cattle were slaughtered in holdings or sold for slaughter to
meat processing enterprises. The total amount year before was more than 4000 tons bigger.
Concerning the trade, export and import figures of bovines are quite similar in last years. Export of
live animals has grown a bit and export of meat has decreased in small quantities. These fluctuations
have not major influence for GIP of cattle, which is expected to remain same level.
The consumption of meat is still significantly smaller than the EU average. In year 2009, the beef
consumption was 12,6 kg per capita/year.
The overall price level in Estonia in 2010 was in same level as in year ago. Carcass price for young
bulls was 262,58 EUR/100 kg, price of cows 168,15 EUR/100 kg and price of heifers
246,76 EUR/100 kg.
Pigs
According to preliminary data of Statistics Estonia, the total number of pigs at the end of December
2010 was 373 000 which is 7900 heads more than same time 2009. Last year was born 755 400
piglets: 186 300 in 1st quarter, 190 300 in 2nd, 193 900 in 3rd and 184 900 in last quarter. In 2009 was
born 31 300 piglets less.
In 2010 63 531 tons (live weight) on pigs were slaughtered. In comparison with year earlier the
amount decreased 610 tons.
There are no remarkable changes concerned trade figures. Export of live pigs has grown bit in last
years but major changes are not predicted in near future.
Prices are in higher level than EU average. Pig carcass price in Estonia in 2010 was
142,53 EUR/100 kg.

With respect the production forecasts of 2011/2012 we make the following comments.
First, in the category of ‘cattle’ no significant changes are expected for the period between the years
2011-2012. Second, a small decrease is forecasted in the category of ‘pork’ for the period between the
years 2011-2012. Third, in the category ‘sheep and goats’ over the years 2011/2012 the relevant
changes are insignificant.
Regarding production of meat, in all categories, for the year 2010 and 2011 are not expected
significant changes.
Based on provisional data covering the external trade of Greece, both imports and export in all
categories remain at similar levels. In the category of ‘sheep and goat’ for the year 2010 there was a
significant reduction in imports of live animals, relative to those in the year 2009.
With respect the prices we note that the prices of the cattle meat, produced in Greece, are relatively
high. This is a probable result of two factors. First, the low degree of autarky and second the extensive
character, the low scale of industrialization in the cattle meat production of Greece and the relative
high cost due to increased prices in animal food. As far as the prices of meat from sheep & goat, we
note that there is an expansion of demand during Easter, traditionally, which leads to higher prices,
which is of seasonal character. In overall terms, the producer prices for sheep & goat meat are linked
to the supply (production, imports) and demand. Nevertheless, it should be noted that in this category
significant changes in prices are not expected. Regarding the prices of pork, the low degree of autarky
in Greece and the high production cost, the prices in Greece lead to a higher level, compare to the
EU27.
The consumption of meat, in all categories, is not expected to exhibit substantial changes, due to the
stationary conditions of trade and production.
Finally, special reference must be made to the cases of the ‘Blue Tongue’ disease in several islands
of Greece, which together with several restrictions imposed, lead to a limited amount of exports.

Cattle
Latvia used administrative data on number of cattle on December 31, 2010 from Register of Animals
of Agricultural Data Centre. The survey on livestock production was carried out for a reference date
December 31, 2010.
Compared to the previous year, the total number of cattle in 2010 has increased by 0.3% (1.3 thousand
more than in 2009). The number of dairy cows has decreased by 0.9% (1.5 thousand less than in
2009). In comparison with the previous year, the number of cattle aged less than 1 year has decreased
by 1.7%, but the number of bovines aged between one and two years and of cattle aged 2 years and
over has grown by 1.1%
In comparison with the 2009, the number of cattle for slaughtering (including domestic slaughtering)
in 2010 has reduced by 4.7%. The production of beef and veal has diminished by 10%, but its share in
the total production of meat comprised 23.1%.
Production of cattle meat from dairy sector has not changed significantly. The share of slaughtered
cows in the total number of slaughtered cattle has decreased from 34.7% in 2009 to 33.3% in 2010.
The share of meat from dairy sector has not changed in 2010 - 45.6% of total beef and veal production
(45.7 % in 2009).
Compared to 2009, the number of slaughtered cows has diminished by 8.4%, obtained production (in
slaughter weight) has decreased by 10.1%. The number of slaughtered calves and young cattle (up to 1
year) has reduced by 1.6%.
In accordance with the survey data, domestic slaughtering (only calves) of cattle almost did not change
- 15.7% of the total number of slaughtered cattle (15.4% in 2009), it comprised 4.4% of the total beef
and veal in 2010 (7.3% in 2009).
Average carcass weight of cattle for slaughtering constituted 171 kg, and, in comparison with 2009, it
has diminished by 5.5%.
According to the estimates of the Latvian State Institute of Agricultural Economics (LSIAE) in
2011/2010 insignificant increase of GIP is forecasted for the total number of bovine animals for
slaughter (0.6%), cows (0.3%), and a decrease of 1.9% for heifers. Specialised production of cattle
meat during the last 5-10 years has been formed, but the share of this production is still rather small –
the number of suckling cows comprise 10.2% of the total number of cows (only 18.5 thousand),
nevertheless it is 20% more than in 2009.
Also in 2012/2011 small growth of GIP for bovine animals is forecasted (0.6%).
Export of cattle has increased by 4.4% (the number of exported cattle in 2010 has grown by 1.6
thousand). The most of exported cattle (77.6% of total number of exported cattle) were calves and
young cattle. Foreign trade with cattle mainly takes place between Latvia and EU countries.
In comparison with the previous year, producer prices of beef and veal in 2010 have decreased by 2%,
and comprise on average 1.47 EUR/kg.
Pigs
The survey on livestock production and on the number of pigs was carried out for a reference date
December 31, 2010.
In comparison with the year before, the total number of pigs in 2010 has increased by 3.5% (13.2
thousand more than in 2009). In comparison with 2009, the total number of sows has increased by
6.4%, but the number of matted sows has grown by 1.5%.
In comparison with the 2009, the number of slaughtered pigs in 2010 has reduced by 2.3%, and
production of meat went down by 4.3%.
36% of the total number of slaughtered pigs were domestic slaughtering and meat produced in such a
way comprise 37.3% of the total pork volume.

Average carcass weight of pigs for slaughter in 2010 constituted 75 kg, and it is a decrease of 2.0 kg.
The estimates of the Latvian State Institute of Agricultural Economics show that in 2011/2010 the
number of slaughtered animals will increase by 5.9%, and in 1st half of 2012/1st half of 2011 the
growth will comprise 2.6%.
Import of live pigs in 2010 has increased by 26.8%, but export has grown by 58.9%, and 65% of total
export of pigs have been traded outside EU. Piglets for further fattening up to 30kg comprise
approximately one third of the total number of pigs exported.
In comparison with the previous year, producer prices of pork in 2010 have diminished by 6.6%, and
comprise on average 1.40 EUR/kg.
Sheep and goats
Number of sheep and goats for slaughtering in 2010 went up by 1.1%. 70% of the total number of
slaughtered sheep and goats were domestic slaughtering, meat produced in such a way comprise 73%
of the total volume of sheep and goat meat produced.
Compared to 2009, the production of sheep and goat meat in 2010 has increased by 1.9%.
Average carcass weight of sheep for slaughter in 2010 comprised 24 kg (down by 1.0 kg if compared
to 2009) and of goats – 20 kg. Sheep and goat meat production is not significant for Latvia, because
its share in the total production of meat is only 0.8%.
Compared to 2008, the producer prices of sheep meat in 2009 have grown by 13%, reaching on
average 2.60 EUR/kg.
Export and import in 2010 sheep and goat meat were not significant.
Consumption of various meat
The worsening economic situation has influenced domestic consumption. The consumption of
meat has decreased. Consumption of all kinds of meat in households has diminished, except
poultry meat, consumption of which has grown.

1. Results of surveys
In December 2010, a livestock survey was carried out on porcine population, and an
extraction of administrative data has been made for bovine and ovine populations.
The evolution of the bovine, porcine and ovine livestock was not influenced by any animal
disease in 2010, the bluetongue disease having been completely overcome.
Bovine population:
After a slight decrease of 0,7% from 2008 to 2009, a similar decrease is observed in 2010
compared to 2009 (-0,5%). Heifers (-5,5%) and male bovines aged between 1 and 2 years
(-4,7%) are the categories that are mainly concerned by that decrease.
Porcine population:
There was an important increase in pig population in December 2009 compared to 2008
(+13,8%). In 2010 there is a smaller increase of 0,9%, mainly due to the strong increase of the
number of pigs for fattening >=110KG (+177,8%)
Ovine population:
After a decrease during the years 2007 and 2008 due to the bluetongue disease, ovine
population was growing by 8,5% in 2009 and reached the same level as in 2005. In 2010
however, a decrease of almost 15% is observed compared to the previous year.
The number of professional farms with sheep is too small to make a link with the economic
situation in the sheep sector.
2. Production, production forecasts and prospects for the market
Production (GIP)
Bovines: In 2010 there was a light decrease of 0,1 % in GIP of bovines. A decrease is
observed through all the categories, except for calves (+16,3%).
Pigs: The GIP of pigs decreased by 1,9 % from 2009 to 2010.
Production forecasts
Luxembourg has only very limited resources to make forecasts of GIP. The porcine
production is expected to remain relatively constant with a light decrease of 0,2 %, for bovine
production there should be an increase of 5,6 % in 2011.
3. Slaughtering
In 2010 there were slaughtered 4,8% more bovines in Luxembourg than during the previous
year. There was an increase of 6 % for adult cattle and a decrease of 9 % for calves.
The production of butcher calves in Luxembourg, which is already low, is still decreasing. For
young bulls and bulls the production doesn’t grow despite a high demand.
Slaughtering of pigs also increased in 2010 by 2,2% compared to 2009.
4. Intra-Community and external trade of living animals
External trade of living animals doesn’t occur regularly.
Intra-Community export of live bovines: In 2010, the number of exported bovines without
calves decreased by 9,3% compared to 2009, the number of exported calves increased by
19,4%.
Intra-Community import of live bovines: The number of imported bovines remained stable in
2010 compared to 2009.
Intra-Community export of live pigs: the trend of increasing exports is also confirmed in 2010
by a rise of 22,8% compared to 2009.
Intra-Community import of live pigs: After a decrease in 2009, import of pigs increased in
2010 by 18,8 % in relation to the previous year.

5. Prices
After a decrease of bovine prices in 2009, the average prices for 2010 show an increase for
bovines in general (+1,5%), which is mainly due to the calves (especially young calves for
fattening) that become more expensive (+31,3%) compared to 2009 while the price for adult
bovines was decreasing by 0,7%.
Concerning prices for pigs, after a very strong increase from 2007 to 2008 (+24,8%) prices
were going down again in 2009 (-7,6%) and 2010 (-4,9%) compared to the previous years.
The crisis on the pig market in the second half of 2010 due to high production costs (fodder,
fuel,…) was reinforced by a lack of confidence of consumers in pig meat (+ eggs and poultry
meat) due to the dioxine scandal in Germany beginning of 2011. Confidence in pig meat has
however recovered rapidly.
6. Consumption
The supply balance sheets for meat are not yet calculated for 2010.
In 2009, bovine meat consumption was 14762 tons compared to 14927 tons in 2008. The percapita consumption also was decreasing from 30,9 kg to 29,9 kg which is equal to the
consumption in 2007
The consumption of pig meat was 19305 tons in 2009, after 19352 tons in 2008. With 39,1
kg, the per-capita consumption is decreasing by 0,9 kg compared to the previous year.

Results of the Nov./Dec. 2010 survey
The total cattle population decreased in 2010 compared to 2009 (-2.7 percent). Since the
beginning of the 1990s there has been a straight declining trend in the cattle population, however
its number was stabilised around 700 thousand during the past three years.
The number of bovines less than one year old decreased by 10 percent while the number of
bovines between one and two years decreased by 1.3 percent since December 2009. The
population of bovines of 2 years and old increased by 0.6 percent; of which there was a decrease
in case of cows (1 percent). The number of dairy cows decreased by 3.6 percent over the last year
due the low profitability of the milk sector, while the number of other cows increased by 9.4
percent.
2.
Production forecasts (2011)
GIP percentage change compared to the same period of the previous year, in the following order: 2011
1st semester, 2011 2nd semester, 2012 1st semester, 2012 2nd semester
Bulls and bullocks: -1.9%, -36.3%, -5.7%, +4.2%
In 2010 the number of male cattle aged between 1 and 2 years was 12% lower in December compared
to the previous year. After a jump in 2010 second half, we expect a significant decrease in the
production in 2011. The production can be stable a year later. The stock of male calves for slaughter
is extremely low, in December it was 23% less than the basis.

Cows:
+6.9%, -7.9%, -5.4%, 0.0%
Hungarian cows stock was 1 percent lower than in December 2009. We can see the problems of
the milk sector, the number of dairy cows less by 19%. The number of cows for slaughter was 9
percent higher; the number of female calves was stable. Year 2012 is uncertain yet, however we
expect a weakening decrease.
Heifers:
+101.6, +22.2%, -4.3%, 0.0%
There are significant changes in the different age categories of female cattle and this can cause in
the next semesters adverse changes in heifers GIP.
Calves:
+8.2%, 0.0%, -4.8%, 0.0%
Export of calves was much stronger in the first semester in 2008 (33.1 thousand heads) than a
year before, which was followed by a significant decrease in the second one (25.6 thousand
heads). In the first half of 2009 export was only 20 thousand heads, which caused a huge decrease
in the GIP comparing the first half of 2009 to the first half of 2008. We expect that the GIP of
calves will be stabilised around 23-24 thousand heads in the semesters of 2011 and 2012,
however the export data are uncertain.
3.
Slaughtering in 2010
According to the Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008 concerning livestock and meat statistics the
monthly slaughterings are provided as slaughtering in slaughterhouses exclusively. The number
of slaughtering was 106 thousand heads in slaughterhouses which is 7 percent less than a year
ago. There was a sharp decrease in the number of slaughtered bulls and bullocks (-10.4 %) and
heifers (-9.1%). The amount of slaughtered young cattle was 2.8 thousand heads which represents
only 2.6 percent out of the total slaughterings.
The number of slaughtered calves increased by 38.6 percent, while their proportion is only 3.4
percent of the total bovine slaughtering.
We have provisional data for the home slaughtering for 2010. The data are surveyed twice a year
together with the livestock surveys in June and in December. In year 2010 2.5 thousand cattle
were slaughtered at home which is 6 percent lower than a year before.
Summing the slaughtering in slaughterhouses and at home the total cattle slaughtering was 108.5
thousand heads according to the provisional data. The share of home slaughtering was 2.3 percent
of the total in this sector.
4.
Intra-Community and external trade
In 2010 the export of bovines was 28.5 thousand tons in carcass weight (148 thousand heads)
which is 40 percent higher than in 2009 according to the provisional external trade statistics data.
The export of calves was 3 thousand tons (50 thousand heads). 41 percent of the export of bovines
(11.7 thousand tons) went to the EU-27.
The import of bovines increased significantly in 2010. The import of bovines was 8.3 thousand
tons (40 thousand heads) 40 percent more compared to the year before (5.9 thousand tons). 90
percent of the total import was adult cattle, 7.5 thousand tons (26.3 thousand heads). The total
import came from the EU countries.

Prices
In 2010 the producer prices of cattle have been decreased by 4 percent. The price of cows which
represent the largest share within the slaughtering went down by 2.5 percent. The decrease was
the highest (7 percent) in case of young bulls, while the price of heifers decreased slightly (5
percent).
6.
Consumption
According to the provisional figures consumption of beef dropped significantly from 25 thousand
tons to 22 thousand tons in 2010 compared to 2008 (2.2 kg/capita/year). This figure can be
changed after all the data will be finalised, however the change can not be significant.
Pig
1.
Results of the Nov./Dec. 2010 survey
The number of pigs decreased in December 2010 by 2.4 percent compared to December 2009
which resulted as the lowest stock of the past 60 years. Total pig population was 3.17 million in
December. Since the profitability of the pig sector is relatively low more and more private
holdings are giving up their activity (mostly those who were kept 1-2 pigs). The number of
private holdings’ pigs decreased by 675 thousand during the past five years (from 1.52 million to
0.85 million).
There was a 2.6 percent decrease in the number of breeding sows over the last 12 months; the
stock was 301 thousand. There was 6.3 percent decrease in the number of piglets, 6.1 percent
decrease in the number of young pigs and 1.4 percent increase in the number of pigs for fattening
since December 2009.

We have provisional data for the home slaughtering for 2010. Home slaughtering plays an
important role in the Hungarian culture and also in the Hungarian pig meat production. The data
are surveyed twice a year together with the livestock surveys in June and in December. In year
2010 almost 617 thousand pigs were slaughtered at home which is 8.3 percent higher than a year
before. Since the number of pigs decreased around every 4th pigs going to slaughterhouses were
imported.
Summing the slaughterings in slaughterhouses and at home the total pig slaughtering was 5.23
million heads according to the provisional data. In 2009 the share of home slaughtering
comparing to the total was 11.8 percent in heads and 14.4 percent in weight.
4.
Intra-Community and external trade
Hungary was still net importer in the pig sector in 2010. The import of pigs in carcass weight was
52 thousand tons (929 thousand heads) and decreased by 3 percent compared to 2009, while the
export increased from 23 thousand tons to 28.4 thousand tons (596 thousand heads). The total
import came from the EU, but only 85 percent of the export went to the EU countries.
5.
Prices
Last year the Hungarian pig prices were followed the tendency of EU prices. The prices decreased
by 7 percent compared to the previous year. Beside the trends of the European Union the price of
the imported pigs reduced the prices in the Hungarian pig markets. The prices of the imported
pigs were 5 percent lower than the prices of the home produced pigs purchased by the
slaughterhouses.
6.
Consumption
The consumption of pork and poultry meat represents 90 percent of the total meat consumption in
Hungary. According to the provisional data 2010 the consumption of pork has not changed
compared to 2009.
The human consumption of pork was 438 thousand tons (43.8 kg/capita/year). This figure can be
changed after all the data will be finalised, however the change can not be significant.
Sheep and goats
1.
Results of the Nov./Dec. 2010 survey
Number of sheep was 1.18 million, it decreased by 3.4 percent since December 2009. The number
of ewes decreased by 13 percent since December 2009 to 844 thousand.
Goat sector is not significant in Hungary. The number of goats was 75 thousand, it increased by
29.3 percent since December 2009. There are more and more goat-keepers who are keeping 1 or 2
goats.

Production forecasts (2011)
GIP percentage change compared to the same period of the previous year, in the following order:
2011 1st semester, 2011 2nd semester.
Sheep:
-16.3%
+13.7%
Sheep GIP is strongly determined by foreign trade data, which showed extreme volatility during
the past years.
Goats:
-8.0%
+4.4%
We expect a stabilizing situation for 2010 in the sector.
3.
Slaughtering in 2009
According to the Regulation (EC) No 1165/2008 concerning livestock and meat statistics the
monthly slaughterings are provided as slaughtering in slaughterhouses exclusively. The number
of sheep slaughtering was 10.9 thousand heads in slaughterhouses which is 21.9 percent more
than a year ago, while there were no goats slaughtering in slaughterhouses.
We have provisional data for the home slaughtering for 2010. The data are surveyed twice a year
together with the livestock surveys in June and in December. In year 2010 almost 46 thousand
sheep and 17 thousand goats were slaughtered at home. The increase was 31.6 percent in case of
sheep and there were no changes in case of goats.
Adding the slaughtering in slaughterhouses and at home the total sheep slaughtering was 56.9
thousand heads, while the total goats slaughtering was 17 thousand heads according to the
provisional data. The share of home slaughtering was 81 percent in case of sheep and 100 percent
in case of goats in year 2010.
4.
Intra-Community and external trade
The export of sheep was 604 thousand heads, in carcass weight 6.4 thousand tons in 2010. The
amount of the export has been fallen by 11 percent. More than 94 percent of the total export was
lamb (590 thousand heads). Only 28 thousand heads sheep went to the non EU-countries. The
export of goats was 2.5 thousand heads declining by 500 heads.
The import of sheep increased by 25 percent, amounted to 63 thousand heads and nearly all of
them was lambs. There was no goats import in year 2010.
5.
Prices
The prices of light lamb were 2 percent higher in Hungarian Forint, which means 6 percent higher
prices in Euros. This is due to the decreasing supply and the weakening Forint in the second half
of the year, which had a positive impact on export and producer prices.
6.
Consumption
The consumption of sheep and goat is negligible in Hungary. It takes only 3.5 thousand tons (0.3
kg/capita/year).

Pigs
During the end of 2010 a comprehensive pig head count was undertaken with a reference date of 1st
December 2010. Since all animals whether Pigs, Cattle or Sheep & Goats are below the minimal
threshold, the Agriculture and Fisheries Unit conducts only one annual survey in the 1st days of
December. The total number of pig farms recorded in this year's survey amounted to 128.
The total pig population registered an increase of 5.1 per cent from 65,918 heads to 69,277 heads in
2010. A decrease of 7.0 per cent was registered in the breeding stock. All other categories registered
increases, ranging from 1.7 per cent for the young pigs to 13.6 per cent for fattening pigs.
Production and Forecasts - Pig meat production in 2010 registered a slight increase of 1.9 per cent
from 7,369tonnes in 2009 to 7,511tonnes in 2010. There was a decline of 5.4 per cent in the number
of pigs slaughtered, from 90,140 heads in 2009 to 85,228 heads in 2010. In 2011, the number of
slaughtered pigs is estimated to be in the same levels of 2010.
Prices - The price of pig meat is fixed and then no changes were recorded.
Cattle
Data on the cattle survey has been entirely compiled with information from the bovine register, which
is under the control of the civil abattoir.
The cattle population as at 1st December 2010 was 14,954 heads, down 8.1 per cent over the
corresponding period in 2009. 341 holdings had cattle, of which 130 were oriented to the production
of milk. Dairy cows being the most important bovine with 43.4 per cent of the total cattle stock,
declined by 8.9 per cent.
Production and Forecasts - Beef meat production amounted to 1,422tonnes in 2010. There was a
drop of 7.8 per cent over 2009. The number of cattle slaughtered registered a decline of 5.9 per cent
from 6,046 heads in 2009 to 5,691 heads in 2010. Beef GIP is expected to remain in the same levels
of 2010.
Prices - There was an increase of 1.7 per cent in the average annual producer price of slaughter bulls.
On the hand there was a decrease in the price of cows, heifers and calves.
Sheep and Goats
During December 2010, a sheep and goat survey with a reference date of 1st December was undertaken
to determine the sheep and goat stocks.
Sheep - A total of 12,379 sheep were recorded, representing a decline of 0.4 per cent when compared
to December 2009. There was a decrease of 31.5 per cent and 35 per cent in Lambs and Ewe lambs,
while an increase of 9.6 per cent and 19.6 per cent was registered in Ewes and Male sheep.
1,395 holdings are engaged in the rearing of sheep. 76.1 per cent of all holdings had less than 10
sheep. 24.0 per cent of holdings with sheep have 70.2 per cent of the total sheep stock. These
holdings have more than 10 sheep.
Goats - A total of 5,110 goats were recorded, representing a decline of 5.9 per cent when compared to
December 2009. The decline in goat stocks over the comparative period resulted from a decline in
kids (-53.2 per cent) and goats mated for the first time (-47.3 per cent). On the other hand, there was
an increase in goats that have already kidded and male goats of 5.5 per cent and 8.3 per cent
respectively.
830 holdings were engaged in the rearing of goats. 84.9 per cent have less than 10 goats with 42.2 per
cent of the total goat stock. 15.1 per cent of all holdings have 57.8 per cent of the total goat stock.
Production and Forecasts - Sheep meat production amounted to 67.7tonnes in 2010 while goat meat
production amounted to 8.9tonnes in 2010. Sheep and Goats GIP is expected to increase as more
sheep and goats are being slaughtered at the civil abattoir.

Cattle in the Netherlands in 2010/2011
The total cattle herd in the Netherlands was in December 2010 one percent lower as the year before.
The number of calves was with 4 percent at a higher level than in 2010. There is still a decline in the
number of male animals for fattening. Specialized fattening farms are still decreasing and the number
of animals is low. Fattening calves (especially rose-calves) had pushed away a part of the specialized
production of bulls.
The provisional GIP for adult cattle in 2010 will be at the same level as in 2009. The 2009 GIP was at
a normal level after some years with a relative low production. The number of exported live animals
redoubled again, but is a small part (about 10%) of total GIP. It is expected that the GIP in 2011 will
decrease with about 4%, due to a declining number of exported animals.
The provisional GIP for calves in 2010 was about one percent lower as 2009. A small increase in
slaughterings was compensated by a higher number of imported calves. For 2011 an increase of 3% is
expected.
The average weight of adult cattle increased in 2010 with 1.5% compared to 2009. The average weight
of slaughtered calves was about 1 percent lower than in 2009.
Export of live animals is not of high importance. In 2010 the export of adult cattle increased to 60.700
animals, while the export of calves increased to 124.000 animals. The import of live calves is with
869.000 animals about 4.5% higher than in 2009. Export of veal shows small increases in 2010.
Export of beef decreased with more than 4%.
Prices of adult cattle are about 3% lower than the year before and are at the same low level as in 2007.
Prices for fattened calves are 4% higher than in 2009, when prices were at the same low level as in
2008.
Consumption of beef shows a very small increase and will stay at about 17.5 kg pro inhabitant. The
total consumption of meat decreased with a very small percentage, due decreasing poultry
consumption. This was especially because of the high level of poultry consumption in 2009.
Consumption of veal in the Netherlands is very low (1.7 kg pro inhabitant) and was in 2010 below the
level of 2009. 90% of the Dutch veal production will be exported.
Pig sector in the Netherlands 2010
Survey results for livestock
The number of pigs rose from 12.1 million in December 2009 to 12.2 million in December 2010. Main
cause for this increase was the high number of fattening pigs: 4.4 million compared to 4.1 million
animals in 2009. The total livestock shows an increase since 2003 (10.8 million).
Production forecast
In 2010 GIP rose with 2% to 24.0 million heads compared to 2009. For 2011 a smaller increase is
expected: +1% to 24.3 million. This increase will mainly take place in the first half of 2011 and can be
related to the high number of fattening pigs at the end of 2010. It is well possible that the exports of
piglets will grow further and contribute more to GIP as the level of slaughtering remain unchanged.

Slaughtering
The number of slaughtered pigs in the Netherlands showed an increase from 13.8 million in 2009 to
13.9 million animals (provisional) that is +1%. The total slaughter weight showed a similar increase;
the average slaughter weight of the animals rose with 0.1%. Since 1990 the average slaughter weight
rose from 83.3 kg to 92.4 kilo in 2010. It is expected that in 2011 slaughtering of pigs remains at 2010
level.
Trade
Exports of live animals in 2010 amounted to 13.3 million heads (provisional) with almost equal shares
for young pigs (pigs not for rearing and weight less than 50 kg) and fattening pigs with pigs for rearing
(weight over 50 kg). The export numbers are up by almost 12% compared with 2009. Over 60% of all
live animals is exported to Germany to wit: 8.3 million heads and that was 1.5 million more than in
2009.
Imports of live animals in 2010 amounted to 1.6 million heads (provisional) with about a 60% share
for pigs over 50 kg. Compared with 2009 the total number of imports rose with 13%. Main countries
for imports are Belgium and Germany
Prices
The price level for piglets in 2010 was with an average of 37.00 euro (farm prices for piglets weighing
23 kg including VAT) about 13% lower than in 2009. Especially in the second half of 2010 farm
prices fell strong with a low in October (27 euro).
A similar but less severe development took place with the prices for fattening pigs. In 2010 prices fell
by 2% to an average 1.31 euro (farm prices per kg for pigs with slaughter weight 75-95 kg including
VAT). The most recent high was 2008 with 1.47 euro per kg.
In 2011 prices can not remain at this low level. The high cost for feed must be passed to consumers.
Consumption
The consumption of pig meat in 2010 remained with 41.8 kg per capita almost unchanged compared
with 2009 (41.7 kg). Consumer prices for pig meat in 2010 were in average just over 2% lower than in
2009. This fall in prices could not boost consumption.
Sheep and goats sector in the Netherlands in 2010
Survey results for livestock
The number of sheep on agricultural holdings in the Netherlands in December 2010 was about 1.2
million animals. This number is 9% higher than in December 2009 and April/May 2010.
The number of holdings keeping sheep compared with 2009 ( 13.2 thousand holdings) shows a
decrease with almost 3% to 12,9 thousand holdings in 2010. Since 2000 the number of sheep seems to
move between 1.1 and 1.4 million; the animals are kept on a gradually decreasing number of holdings.
The year 2010 brought big changes for the goats sector. Since 2006 there was a steady growth of
livestock: growth rates between 5% and 10%. In 2010 government measures to fight query fever on
infected farms led tot the destruction of about 40 thousand animals. The number of goats fell from 415
thousand in December 2009 to 377 thousand in December 2010. A number of goat farms was
confronted with an official ban on breeding with livestock that was liable or suspect of carrying the
disease. The sector therefore needs more time to recover than in ‘normal’ circumstances.
Production forecast
It is expected that in 2011 the GIP for sheep will more or less remain on the level of 2010; about 400
thousand in the first and 500 thousand in the second semester. Stability is expected since the bluetongue disease seems under control as a result of a vaccination program.
The GIP of goats in 2011 is unsure. It is expected that after the ban on breeding is lifted, farms will try
to restock. Therefore it is likely that slaughtering and exports will diminish; the breeding ban led to
extra slaughtering in 2010 and minimal exports.

Slaughtering
The number of slaughterings for sheep and goats decreased from 750 thousand in 2009 to 680
thousand in 2010: the loss in numbers amounts to -9%. This lower outcome is due to lower numbers
for sheep (- 95 thousand) and higher numbers for goats (+23 thousand) compared with 2009.
Trade
Imports of life sheep and goats in 2010 showed an increase compared with 2009: about 80 thousand
animals compared to 50 thousand. Main supplying countries are Germany, Romania and Poland.
Exports on the other hand went up compared with 2009 by 7% to 375 thousand sheep. Exports of
goats in 2010 were minimal. Main destinations for the sheep are France and Belgium.
Prices
The average price for (suckling) lambs in 2009, with €4.95 per kg (slaughtered weight), went up in
2010 to €5.30 per kg. Meat prices of the other sheep categories were more or less stable: prices were
up percentages varying between 0 and 6 percent.

RINDER
1) Ergebnisse der Bestandeserhebung
Der Rinderbestand inklusive der Anzahl der Mutter- und Ammenkühe wurde mit der von der
Europäischen Kommission genehmigten und von der Bundesanstalt für Agrarwirtschaft
ausgearbeiteten Methode unter ausschließlicher Verwendung der AMA-Rinderdatenbank
ermittelt.
Der Gesamtrinderbestand betrug zum Stichtag 1. Dezember 2010 rund 2,01 Mio. Stück und ist
damit im Jahresabstand um 0,6 % gesunken. Die Rinder bis zu einem Jahr nahmen um 1,5 %,
jene mit 1 bis unter 2 Jahre um 0,5 % und jene über zwei Jahre um 0,1 % ab.
Im Folgenden die Entwicklungen der einzelnen Kategorien:
Die Anzahl der Kälber (Rinder unter 1 Jahr) sank auf rund 634.000 Stück, wobei die
Schlachtkälber um 12,2 % zunahmen und die Zucht-/Nutzkälber um 10,3 % (männliche) bzw.
2,1 % (weibliche) abnahmen.
Die Anzahl der Rinder mit 1 bis unter 2 Jahren verringerte sich auf rund 444.000 Stück. Die
Ochsen und Stiere in dieser Kategorie nahmen um 1,6 % ab, die Schlachtkalbinnen stiegen um
12,4 %, die Zucht- und Nutzkalbinnen verringerten sich um 4,6 %. In Summe nahm die Anzahl
der 1- bis 2jährigen Kalbinnen um 0,2 % zu.
Die Gruppe der über 2-Jährigen verkleinerte sich minimal um 0,1 % auf 936.000 Stück. Die
männlichen Rinder stiegen um 1,8 %. Die Anzahl der Kalbinnen erhöhte sich um 1,9 %, wobei
die Schlachtkalbinnen um 16,6 % zu- und die Zucht/Nutzkalbinnen um 0,7 % abnahmen. Die
Anzahl der Kühe sank um 0,5 % auf 793.600 Stück, wobei die Milchkühe mit 532.000 fast
gleich blieben, während die Mutter- und Ammenkuhanzahl um 1,4 % auf rund 260.900 Stück
sank. (vgl. Tabelle 1)
Für den Stichtag 1. Dezember 2010 wies die AMA-Rinderdatenbank 71.563 Rinderhalter aus,
zum 1. Dezember 2009 waren es noch 73.499. Das entspricht einem Rückgang von 2,6 %.

2) Die Produktion 2009 und die (vorläufige) Produktionsprognose 2011/2012
Die vorläufige Bruttoeigenerzeugung (BEE) an Großrindern betrug 2010 rund 595.000 Stück
und lag damit um 3,5 Prozent über jener von 2009. Bei den Kälbern ergibt sich für 2010 eine
vorläufige Bruttoeigenerzeugung von rund 122.700 Stück. Das entspricht einem Plus von 1,3
% gegenüber 2009. Die vorläufige Gesamt-BEE (Großrinder und Kälber) betrug 2010 rund
718.000 Stück, um 3,2 % mehr als 2009.
Der Rinderbestand zum Stichtag 1. Dezember 2010 sank zwar im Jahresabstand um 0,6 %,
dennoch wird die Produktion 2011 leicht steigen, und zwar um 0,3 % gegenüber der
derzeitig vorläufigen BEE von 2010. Der Anstieg der Gesamtproduktion basiert auf einer
prognostizierten Zunahme der Kälberproduktion. Die Großrinderproduktion wird mit einem
Minus von 0,2 % leicht nachgeben. 2012 ist gemäß den Produktionsschätzungen ein leichter
Rückgang im Ausmaß von 0,4 % zu erwarten.

5.
Prices. Preliminary data
In 2010 the average cattle procurement price amounted to 4.60 PLN/kg and increased by 1% in
comparison to 2009. In January 2011 the average cattle procurement price came to 5.23
PLN/kg i.e. by 6.5% more than in January 2010.
In 2010 the average milk procurement price 1.06 PLN/l was noted and has risen by 18.3% in

PIG MEAT SECTOR
1.
Results of the December 2010 survey
The December pig survey shows population of pigs on the reference date of 30 November 2010
which has been carried out on a sample of ca. 20 thousand private farms as well as on full reports
from remaining farms having pigs (the population counted ca. 0.8 thousand farms in private and
public sector apart from private farms).
In comparison to the results from the survey conducted in the end of November 2009 the pig herd
in Poland increased by 3.7% (523.2 thousand heads more) to the level of 14775.7 thousand heads
in 2010.
The following increase in the number of pigs was noted:
•
young pigs 20 to under 50 kg by 7.7% (by 286.2 thousand heads),
•
pigs for fattening 50 kg and over by 5.9% (by 287.3 thousand heads),
and declining of:
•
piglets up to 20 kg by -0.3% (by -14.7 thousand heads),
•
breeding pigs 50 kg and over by -2.5% (by -35.6 thousand heads), of which sows
by -2.4% and sows mated by -4.4%.
It looks it is still the growth trend in pig herd but the scale of it is slowly going down because of
worse profitability of pig production.
2.
Production and forecasts (2011/2012)
It is estimated, that in 2010 total production of pigs including balance of external trade of live
animals was 19745.4 thousand heads (3.9% more than in previous year) or it was 2388.1 thousand
tones (8.5% more).

In 2010 an increase in import of sheep to Poland was noted (from 0.1 thousand heads in 2009 to
1.4 thousand heads in 2010). Export of sheep from Poland decrease by -14.6% (from 86 thousand
heads in 2009 to 73.5 thousand heads in 2010).
In 2010 the export of goats from Poland was insignificant - it was131 heads (21.6% less year to
year) and there wasn’t noted any import of goats to Poland.

Livestock statistics were carried out for cattle, pigs, sheep and goats in November/December 2010,
and national provisional results are established.
Cattle
1.
Provisional results on 2010 Livestock
Decrease of the total stock (-1,2 %), relatively to 2009.
Increase of “Bovines less than 1 year old” (+6,0%), consequence of the greater number of “calves
for slaughtering” that were still in holdings in 2010, when compared with the previous year.
Decrease of “Bovines aged between 1 and 2” (-9,4%), especially for “males between 1 and 2” as
the result of the preference on producing “bovine less than 1 year” for slaughtering over older
animals.
The number of “Bovines of 2 years and over” shows a slight drop of 2,0%. The number of
“heifers for reproduction” decreased, and also the number of cows dropped 1,8%, once more due
to the number of “dairy cows” (-4,9%), while “other cows” had no significant variation (+0,4%),
when compared with 2009.

2. Production, the production forecasts (GIP), prospects for the market Prices Foreign trade
(imports and exports – live animals and meat)
GIP 2010 (provisional data): Decrease of 9,1 % in total GIP.
There was a decrease for “calves” GIP (-12,3%) in 2010, reflecting the reduction of births
(specially from the drop in dairy livestock). Also for “Adults” GIP, there was a reduction (-7,3%)
with a significant drop in the “bulls and bullocks” category.
Prevision for annual prices in 2010 shows an increase both for calves and adult categories.
International trade of live animals (provisional values of 2010) shows a reduction of both imports
and exports. Bovine meat trade showed an increase in imports and a decrease of exports, when
compared with 2009.
GIP forecasts for 2011: Decrease of GIP (-2,6%) in 2011.
In 2011 a drop of GIP is expected for all bovine categories, except “heifers”. Joining the
instability of the market and the international economic crisis, which reduces consumption of
bovine meat, other factors such as higher costs of production inputs, less number of animals (due
to the drop of dairy livestock, consequence of the crisis in the milk sector) also create extra
difficulties for national producers.
GIP forecasts for 2012: Following the referred crisis in bovine meat and milk sector, ongoing
and expected for the 2010-2011 period, a rebalance in bovine meat production could occur,
pointing out to a slight recovery of the GIP for 2012 (+1,2%). However, the interventions that
might occur in the sector make these forecasts very difficult; these previsions have to be taken
with many precautions.
Pigs
1. Provisional results on 2010 Livestock
Decrease of the total livestock by 6,2%). The total breeding stock shows a decrease of -5,5% for
“breeding sows”, and consequently there are a less “piglets”, “pigs 20-50 Kg” and “fattening pigs
> 50 kg” on the holdings, when, compared with 2009.
2. Production, the production forecasts (GIP), prospects for the market Prices Foreign trade
(imports and exports – live animals and meat)
GIP 2010 (provisional data): Increase of GIP of 2,2%.
Prevision for annual price in 2010 shows a slight increase relatively to 2009.
The trade of both live animals and pig meat (provisional values) showed a fall both of imports
and exports, when compared with 2009.
The economic crisis increased pig meat demand, which contributed to a bigger offer of pigs for
slaughtering. However, in 2010 great instability was created in this sector, especially in the last
trimester by a set of factors, including the demands from EU (welfare) and at national level
(register of holdings, taxes in slaugtherings etc.), but mainly by the drop of pig prices at the end
of the year and the cereal market speculation, which leaded to a raise in costs of animal food at a
level unbearable to national producers. The drop in pig livestock reflects already this situation,
with producers forced to send many animals to the slaughtering (especially in the 4th trimester of
2010) because they drop out of production or had to reduce livestock quickly, as a result of not
being able to feed them.
This situation forced the sector to demand interventions from EU, which started in 2011 by
allowing private stocking of pig meat, to take product out of the market in order to try a recovery
of production prices.
GIP forecasts for 2011: According to the provisional data for pig livestock in 2010, and the
current situation, a drop of GIP (-4,7%) is expected for the year 2011, consistent in the 4
trimesters of the year.

GIP forecasts for 2012: Considering data available at the moment, a recovery of GIP is
forecasted for the 1st (+2,9%) and 2nd (+2,0%) trimesters of 2012.
Sheep and Goats
1.
Provisional results on 2010 Livestock
Fall of total stock for both sheep (-6,4%) and goats (-2,7%).
The breeding stock dropped for sheep (less 5,7% for “ewes and ewe-lambs put to the ram”) and
for goats (-0,9% for “goats which have already kidded and goats mated”).
2. Production, the production forecasts (GIP), prospects for the market Prices Foreign
trade (imports and exports – live animals and meat)
GIP 2010: (provisional data): Slight increase of sheep GIP (+2,0%), while there was a
stabilization for goats GIP (-0,4%) in 2010.
The increase in slaughter was a response to the big lack of animals (especially of lambs)
in 2009, and annual prices of 2010 dropped both for sheep and goats, when compared
with the previous year. The blue tongue disease situation stabilized and, generally, there
were no significant changes in the main indicators for this sector in 2010.
Sheep and goat trade of live animals (provisional results) showed decline of imports and
exports in 2010. Meat trade showed less imports and more exports, when compared with
2009.
GIP forecasts for 2011: According to the provisional trend for sheep and goat livestock
in 2010, a decrease of GIP is expected for sheep (-5,3%) and also for goats (-1,6%) in
2011.

Livestock number, Slovenia, 1. 12. 2010 - provisional data
Provisional data on the livestock number in 2010 show a decrease in the number of animals,
most noticeably of poultry and pigs.
On 1 December 2010 agricultural holdings in Slovenia were breeding about 470,000 heads of
cattle
In comparison with the previous year, there was a slightly decrease in the number of “cattle – total”,
which is the result of the lower number of animals in all subcategories, except in the subcategory of
“cattle over 2 years, breeding heifers, total”, where a slight increase was recorded.
In the subcategory of “young cattle, under 1 year” the number of “calves for fattening” decreased,
while the number of “calves for slaughter” increased (in both cases more distinctly for male animals).
The number of animals also decreased in the subcategory of “young cattle, 1-2 years”, especially the
number of “breeding heifers”; the number of “heifers for fattening” noticeably increased.
In the subcategory of “cattle over 2 years” a decrease in the number of animals was recorded despite a
slight increase in the number of “breeding heifers”, i.e. a larger number of “breeding heifers in calf”
and a smaller number of ”other breeding heifers”. Expressed in percent, the drop in the number of
“heifers for fattening” was significant, but in absolute terms this subcategory does not represent a
significant number of animals. The number of “cows – total” again slightly decreased; the number of
“other cows” increased, while the number of “dairy cows” decreased.
Provisional data show that in December 2010 about 36,000 agricultural holdings in Slovenia were
breeding cattle, i.e. about 1,300 less than in the previous year.
The number of pigs in December 2010 lower than a year before
According to provisional data, in December 2010 about 31,000 agricultural holdings in Slovenia were
breeding pigs, which is a lot (by more than 4,000) less than in the previous year.
On 1 December 2010 these agricultural holdings were breading almost 396,000 pigs. The downward
trend in the number of pigs continues. Quite a significant decrease was observed in the subcategories
of “fattening pigs – total”; in the lightest category of “fattening pigs 50-80 kg” a slight increase was
recorded, but on the other hand there was a large drop in the number of “breeding pigs (50 kg and
over) – total”. Within this subcategory the largest drop was recorded in the number of “gilts mated”
and “saws not mated”. The number of animals in the category of “piglets 20-50 kg” slightly
increased.

In 2010 a large drop in the number of poultry
In December 2010 about 35,000 agricultural holdings in Slovenia were breeding poultry, which is
more than 3,000 less than in the previous year. A large decrease was observed in the number of
“turkeys”, “other hens (spring chicken, cocks)” and “chickens for fattening”, while the number of
“other poultry”, “ducks and drakes” and “guinea fowl” increased. However, the number of these
animals is very small.
The number of sheep and goats lower than in the previous year
In December 2010 a significant decrease in the number of sheep and goats was recorded. According to
provisional data, about 6,000 agricultural holdings were breeding sheep, which is about the same as in
the previous year, and fewer than 4,000 agricultural holdings were breeding goats, which is about
1,000 less than in the previous year.

Cattle
Survey from december 2010 showed folloving numbers of bovine animals:
Total cattle – 467 125 heads, heifers 204 386 heads, dairy cows 159 260 heads.
Comparing data to 2009 only a slight decrease was in number of total cattle about 1,03%, and dairy
cows 2%, number of cows was slightly higher about 1,2 %. Situation in sector of cattle was relatively
stabilized in 2010.
Measures adopted to stabilisation the milk prices were effective only for a few time in 2010. As
regards actual situation in milk sector – price loses for milk producers, and unification of VAT 20 %
for direct sales from farms do not predict the same trend. So, stability of this sector we consider is very
low.
Indicator- born calves per 100 cows declined by 2,6 % comparing to 2009 (83,92) and reared calves
per 100 cows declined by 3,1%(78.03).

Gip forecast for pigs we decreased for the next period regarding actual situation in the pig sector –
trend in lowering numbers of pigs due to low profitability of pig meat, hight prices of cereals, hight
inputs to production, low-cost imports.
Consumption of pig meat per inhabitant was 32,0 kg, that is decrease by 0,01% compering to the year
2009.
Average daily increment in fattening of pigs was 0.589 kg/NR increase by 0.006 kg, comparing to the
previous year.
Annual average price for slaugter pigs was 1,12 EUR/kg, for sows 0,79 EUR/kg.

Number of sheep at the end 2010 was 394 175 heads increase by 4,6 %, ewes 263 764 heads increase
by 3,4% to 2009.

animals.
In 2010 – slaugtered 83 887 heads, in carcass weight 651 t more about 4,8 % in heads and in tons 12%
to 2009.
Most of the slaughtered sheep were lambs with 79 501 heads and 576 t rise in heads 8,6% and in tons
21,9 % to 2009.

Eur/kg.
Sale of ewes´ milk to the approved purchasers was 5 646 thousand kg and milk processing in own
enterprises was 3 487 thousand kg, total declin by 1,4 % and declin by 3,7 % for own enterprises
comparing to 2009.

CATTLE
1. Results of survey
The total number of bovine animals was 908 900 heads at first of December 2010. This is slightly
more than in December 2009.
 The number of dairy cows fell by 0.5% and number of suckle cows rose by 5%.
 The number of bulls rose by 2% and number of heifers fell by slightly (-0.3%).
 The number of calves aged less than 1 year was at almost same level than previous
year.
2. Production
Year 2010 beef production increased slightly (+1.3%) from previous year, 83.0 million kg
(including slaughterings on farms). The number of cows and the number of calves which have been
born were almost stable (-0.6%), which means that production will be stable year 2011 and 2012.
Year 2010 slaughterings decreased in the first half of the year and increased in the second half. In
the first half the decrease was mostly due to removal of young cattle slaughterings. There was a
strike in slaughterhouses, imports increased and domestic market demand felt not well. In the
second half market situation was better. Consumption increased and slaughterings increased too. In
autumn there were huge cattle queues waiting for slaughtering but almost all of them were
slaughtered by the end of the year. Slaughter weights increased remarkably: young bull 9 kilos up
to 346 kilos.
GIP-figures
After the GIP-forecast there are only slight changes in slaughterings between year 2011 and 2012.
The number of calves (borne) will be almost the same as year 2010 and 2011 because of the
increasing number of suckle cows (forecast +5%). The rise of feed prices means a threat to
profitability this year.
The change of slaughterings for year 2011: total +0.9%, bulls 1.5%, cows +0.1%, heifers +1.1%
and calves -3.2%.
The change of slaughterings for year 2012: total -0.3%, bulls -0.3%, cows -0.1%, heifers -0.3% and
calves -4%.
3. Prices
In year 2010 producer prices decreased 2-3% from previous year. Price of bull was higher and
prices of heifer and cows were lower than EU average in most common classes of carcass in
Finland.
4. Consumption
Beef consumption increased remarkably (+5%). The consumption was almost 100 million kg (18.6
kg per capita). Consumer prices were 7% lower than previous year, partly because VAT decreased
about 4%. Imports increased and included cheaper parts of carcass. Beef was eaten more for
example in the form of minced meat. Since autumn the demand of valuable beef (for example
steak, fillet) has increased. This is obviously due to better welfare in economy. This year demand
of beef has been good and consumption is expected to be quite stable.

5. Foreign trade
Last year beef import increased by 14% and represented 18% of consumption (as carcass weight).
The import included more cheap parts and less fillet, sirloin or steak etc. The share of intra-EU
import (carcass and parts) increased from previous year (87%). The import outside EU decreased
12%. There were exports only to intra-EU. Export represented only 12% of imports and 2% of
production.
PIG
1. Results of the survey
The total number of pigs was 1 339 900 heads at the first of December 2010. The number is 1%
lower than previous year. The number of sows fell by 6% from previous year.
2. Production
Year 2010 pork production decreased by 1.4% to 203.2 million kg. Slaughterings of fattening pigs
decreased by 4% and slaughter weights rose up to 88.4 kilos (+ 2.6 kilos). Slaughterings of sows
decreased by 8%.There were many problems in the pig market. The prices of feed started to rise
and cut profitability. The strike in April hurt pig market dramatically – pigs were gaining extra
weight, there were not enough space and piglets market was unbalanced. It took nearly all the
summer since market was balanced.
The decreasing trend of production will continue because of weak profitability. Last year
productivity (more piglets/sow) got better and compensated remarkably the decrease. The same
development is expected to continue this year, mostly because of better genetics. Slaughter weights
are expected to stay about at the same level as last year.
The forecast for year 2011 is 201 million kg (-1%) and for year 2012 about 199 million kg. The
GIP-forecast as heads for the year 2011 is –1.0% and for the year 2012 – 0.8%.
3. Prices
Year 2010 producer prices of pig meat was 3% lower than previous year, but the average price
(class E) was 1% higher than EU-average.
4. Consumption
The consumption was quite stable until autumn. Rest of the year consumption started to increase
and development of the whole year was + 2%. The amount was 187 million kg (35 kg per capita).
The forecast of pork consumption for this year is +1%.
5. Foreign trade
The import of pork increased during the strike and more pork than previous year was imported
during the rest of the year, too. The import to Finland increased 20% and export decreased 20%
(turned to carcass weights). Imports represented 15% of consumption. In practise all import came
from EU-countries as previous year. The share of intra-EU exports rose from previous year and
was almost half of the total exports. The export to outside EU, mostly to Russia, decreased about
by a third.
