Genesus targets 20% of the Ukrainian pig breeding market

On the basis of the pig-breeding complex "Agrarian Company 2004", the country's first nucleus of the GENESUS Corporation was created for the Large White breed. 

According to a spokesman for Genesus Inc. in Ukraine by Yevgeny Shatokhin, until now this part of Eastern Europe has not been considered as a priority market due to its relatively small capacity. In addition, Ukrainian farms were not ready to import pedigree young animals by aircraft from CANADA. With the opening of Genesus cores in the UK, Spain, France and Germany, logistical problems were resolved.

In general, the expert assesses the Ukrainian pig breeding market as balanced, but sees a niche for development: the goal of Genesus is to fill 20% of its genetics with animals in the coming years.

"Agrarian Company 2004" has already received the status of a breeding reproducer. From November, she will sell Large White piglets and hybrid young. The next step will be organizing the supply of semen of breeding boars of the Duroc and Landrace breeds.
