Milk production increased by 2.3%, while egg production grew by 3.4%, IPN reports.
The ministry states that direct payments granted to farmers based on the quantity of products obtained had a decisive impact on boosting production in the livestock sector. These incentives encouraged investments in modernization, process optimization, and farm capacity expansion.

Animal stocks on farms are also on an upward trend, with the most significant growth recorded in pig populations.
