In Britain, it will no longer be possible to raise pig production to its previous levels, farmer Kate Moore said on May 20, according to BLOOMBERG.

“It's monstrous. Now there is no light at the end of the tunnel. The British pig industry will never be the same again,” said Moore.

The UN recorded that since the beginning of the year, MEAT prices have risen by 10%, and in the United States, prices for bacon, chicken breasts and ground beef are breaking records.

In Germany, pork producers will need to raise meat prices from 1.60-1.70 euros per kg to 2-2.40 euros per kg in order to make farming profitable, German analyst Tim Koch predicted the situation in the industry.

Bloomberg noted that for the first time, meat production has become as expensive as it is now. Rising prices for meat provokes an increase in prices for feed, namely for cereals.

The publication reported that in 2022 in Chicago feed corn futures prices rose by 31%, in France in Paris the increase was about 55%, and in the UK the price of feed wheat increased by 50%.

The most severe bird flu epidemics in France, Poland and the United States hit the production of chicken and turkey hard, the flu destroyed laying hens.

Meat producers will not be able to bear all the costs, so all losses will have to be included in the cost of production, the Food Organization of the United Nations said.

Another significant factor is the consequences for the US and the EU of the sanctions they have imposed against RUSSIA. Western countries in response to sanctionsreceived an increase in logistics prices, an increase in fuel and food prices, provoking an increase in inflation in their countries.
