Slovak waterfowl farming collapses; 95% of ducks and geese imported

Slovakia's waterfowl farming sector has collapsed to historic lows, with up to 95% of consumed ducks and geese now imported. Only three larger duck farms and no large goose farms remain, according to the Union of Waterfowl Farmers of Slovakia. This signals a structural decline in domestic production and increased reliance on foreign supply, though the economic and policy implications remain unclear.
