The decrease in the value of animal production in 2009 is the result of a clear fall in producer prices (-8.7%) and a slight decline in volume (-1.1%). Prices are falling for the three largest animal products: milk (-20.3%), pigs (-4.2%) and cattle (-1.8%). The volume remains the same for milk production, is nearly stable for pigs (-0.3%) and decreases for cattle (-2.9%).
