Abstract: In 2022, index of physical volume of agricultural output in agricultural organizations, peasant (private) farms and household farms grew by 10.2% as compared to the previous year. In monetary terms growth was 14.8% due to rising prices on agricultural products (+4.2%, i.e. much lower as compared to general inflation). Such high growth in physical volume is determined among other things by a lower comparison base — in 2021 index was 99.6% against 2020. In 2022, output of livestock went up, however here an impact on overall dynamics of agricultural production is much less significant than in crop production (+1.1 p.p., vs. 9.6 p.p.). Largest increase was observed in pork (+5.0%) which led to a 0.5 p.p. increase in the index. Beef is the only livestock product with negative dynamic (drop in the production of cattle meat in slaughter weight came to 3.6%). Increase in grain production in 2022 was mainly on the back of a sharp increase in yields (126.9% vs. 2021), which resulted in a record-high gross harvest in country’s history. Crop area expansion was negligible at 101.1% relative to 2021 which is within five-year range of crop area fluctuations.
