How to read this table
Comparing indicators is straightforward as each row is assigned to a specific country or region. Annual values allow for tracking the development of pig farming in Russia relative to Austria or Belarus. The table contains 58 rows of data for various countries, enabling an assessment of the industry's overall situation over the specified period
What is visible in these numbers
The five highest values: Spain (34.5), Germany (27.7), Russia (27.6), Poland (15.2), Denmark (13.4). The gap between the highest and lowest is 172.5 times. The top five account for 65.5% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 7 periods. Cells with numbers: 175 out of 175 (100%) — almost no empty cells remain
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
