"According to our calculations, meat production in 2011 will amount to 1.93 million tons in carcass weight, and the share of poultry meat will rise to 56 per cent, while the share of beef will fall to 12 per cent of the total meat production. In the overall structure of the market, only the share of pork will remain unchanged - 32 per cent," Director of the AgriSurvey Agency, an analytical unit of the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club, Taras Hahahiuk, said.
