So, over January-February Ukraine has purchased pork at aggregate value of $1.6 million.

The top three most active pork suppliers appeared to be Canada, Poland, and Denmark. As indicates there was a threefold reduction of pork exports to foreign markets against the backdrop of double growth of pork imports.
