ESTONIA - Purchase prices in the livestock sector have started to increase in Estonia this year, with the average purchase price of pigs being seven and milk purchase price being 2.5 per cent higher than one year ago, it appears from a third-quarter survey carried out by the Ministry of Rural Affairs."Signs of adaptation can be seen in the livestock sector," said Deputy Secretary General for Agricultural and Rural Life Policies Marko Goran in a press release."The low ebb of the milk market that has continued for a long time has had a negative effect on the purchase price of milk and cattle numbers. Yet the productivity of cattle has grown despite the difficult situation and milk output has stabilized on the level of recent years."In the first nine months of the year, approximately 7,000 tons more milk was produced in Estonia than during the same period in 2015. The average purchase price in September was 233 euros per ton, a 2.5 per cent increase year over year, reports News.Err.

　　根据农村事务部公开的第三季度调查报告显示，爱沙尼亚畜牧业产品的购买价格在今年开始上涨，活猪的均匀购买价格比去年水平上涨了7%，牛奶购买价格高出2.5%。尽职农业与农村生存政策的副秘书长Marko Goran在一份新闻稿中谈到：“有迹象表明，畜牧业正逐渐融入人们的生存中，牛奶市场曾经在很长一段光阴内维持低谷，这对牛奶的购买价格和牛群数目都有着消极的影响。尽管处于不利局面，肉牛生产力依然不断提高，牛奶产量也在近些年始终保持稳定。”爱沙尼亚在2016年前9个月的牛奶产量比2015年同期增长了大约7000公吨。九月的均匀购买价格为每吨233欧元，同比上涨2.5%，ERR新闻报道。
