Prices of pork and poultry fell by 1-3.5% in the Kherson region over the course of a month while hen’s eggs cheapened by the record 29.8%. However, a reduction in the prices of meat can be explained by the loss of the market in Crimea that reunified with Russia on March 16, 2014.
According to statistical data, a cattle and poultry population decreased by 4.4% and 43% respectively in the Kherson oblast in February, compared with the same period last year. It is worth noting too that there are only 54,500 head of sheep in the region today as against a million in Soviet times.
