War in Ukraine halts pig farming expansion plans

The war in Ukraine is being felt on a pig farm level as well. Farmer Kees Huizinga, of Dutch origin but having built up a sow farm as well as a dairy facility in Ukraine, had to shelve plans to expand the Ukraine farm to 1,200 sows due to future uncertainties. While Russian soldiers draw closer to ‘TOV Kischenzi farm’, owners Kees Huizinga and his 2 business partners have been forced to completely replan this year’s management programme.
