Despite statements by some politicians that the African swine fever virus will not affect MEAT production in any way, in view of the relatively high production index compared to last year, ASF remains the main problem of pig production. Experts note that it is precisely because of ASF that RUSSIA currently has the lowest increase in meat production over the past 15 years.
