Export market for Frozen Bone-in Beef Cut in Ukraine (12월, 2022)

The article highlights the impact of the 2022 Ukraine war on the Spanish livestock industry, focusing on the pig, egg, milk, poultry meat, beef cattle, and sheep and goat meat sectors. The war's repercussions include disrupted access to European grain, leading to higher feed and energy costs, which have resulted in a profitability crisis for farmers. The situation has worsened with the surge in raw material prices and epidemics like avian flu. The industry is grappling with challenges such as increased costs, inflation, and difficulties in passing on expenses to later links in the supply chain. Some sectors have seen reductions in livestock numbers, which has helped stabilize prices and improve profitability, albeit on a thin margin. The upcoming year brings concerns about high energy and raw material costs, with the potential for further reductions in livestock numbers in 2023 due to the ongoing financial strain.
