Abstract
The article examines the organizational and economic conditions under which the production activity of agricultural enterprises in the field of pig breeding in Ukraine is formed. The pig industry and the pig meat market are traditional and play an important role in providing the population with meat and meat products. The demand for pig meat in the world is growing, which is due to both the growth of the world population and the economic development of individual countries of the world. Ukraine can become an important participant in the pig meat market in the world under the condition of increasing the production of competitive products of the pig industry. It was established that the state of the industry does not ensure sustainable and efficient production of pork in Ukraine and needs significant improvement.
The volume of pork production primarily depends on the number of pigs and their productivity it was determined. It has been proven that the number of pig farms in the pig meat market has significantly decreased.
It is substantiated that the war in Ukraine has a negative impact on both organizational and economic aspects of the functioning of enterprises in the pig breeding industry. It causes terrible, in most cases, irreversible consequences for manufacturers.
The although Ukraine has a large number of small farms that keep pigs, the main producers of pig meat are large pig farms it has been proven.
It was determined that the increase in prices for the main types of pork is due to a reduction in the number of pigs due to hostilities and due to the occupation of large territories, an increase in the cost of logistics and fuel for transportation, an increase in production costs (increase in the cost of feed, electricity, etc.).
It is substantiated that the key condition for the formation of effective production activity is the implementation of innovative technological solutions by agricultural enterprises in the pig breeding industry.
Key words: the field of pig breeding, agricultural enterprises, pork production, sales price, consumer price, innovative technological solutions.
