The positive trend continued in the current year - from January to September the production of pigs (for slaughter in live weight) increased by 10.4% compared to the previous year and amounted to 3.9 million tons. This statement was made by the First Deputy Minister of Agriculture Jambulat Khatuov at a meeting of the National Pig Producers Union of Russia.
