The current level of development of pork production was also studied both in general - by individual producing countries, and in more detail - in Ukraine. The economic environment and state policy on pig breeding, meat production and the formation of the pork market in the country were covered. Focusing on the current situation, the article considers the trends and future development of domestic pig breeding. The paper sepa-rately identifies the main causes of problematic issues that are still relevant and destabilize the industry, hindering its development. In addition, the authors outlined ways out of today's crisis and outlined promising areas of work for pork producers in the future. The material for the study were the works of modern scientists, researchers and experts in the field of pig breeding, statistical collections and databases, which were summarized, analyzed, compared in terms of relevance of scientific views, pork production, changes in pig population, dynamics and structure of market indicators. It has been established that pig farming in the world is recovering from the temporary crisis caused by the global spread of African swine fever and the COVID-19 pandemic. World pork production is char-acterized by rising both volumes and prices of products, being in a state of highly competitive struggle, transformation of technolo-gies, innovative progress. At the same time, the pig industry in Ukraine is in a state of slight stabilization after a long deep decline and slow adaptation to dynamic changes in internal and external macroeconomic, competitive and epizootic environment, new tech-nologies, new requirements for product quality and ways of managing and changing consumer sentiment. We believe that the nec-essary steps to resuscitate and intensify the pig industry in Ukraine should begin with strengthening investment and innovation, revival of breeding and modernization of agricultural enterprises and households in technical, technological, sanitary, environmental aspects of the industry integration process.
