This paper studies the profitability issue of raising pigs for meat in the Republic of Moldova. The research was based on the financial information from over 195 enterprises that have as their basic or complementary branch raising pigs for meat. For this study, we determined the profitability level and selected only those enterprises (140) that recorded the profitability level higher than 0. In order to process statistically the received information, the enterprises have been systematized according to 4 criteria: average daily gain, average number of feed days, average weight of a pig at slaughter, and the profitability level. Based on this information, it was determined the impact of each criterion on the profitability of pork production and it also served as a basis to establish their forecasted indicators. Our calculations have shown that together with increased levels of profitability the profit of production increases too, the production cost is reduced, but there is an increased share of expenses for feed in the production cost. The cost of meat production is highly influenced by the labour remuneration costs and costs for veterinary medicines. This paper proposes to establish a profitability level of 25% as it can be considered optimal for the sustainable development of pig breeding branch in the Republic of Moldova. Also, this study could be useful for institutional decision makers form the Republic of Moldova, as well as for producers specialized in this field in order to assess the profitability level of their production.
