Afrikansk svinpest upptäcktes hos vildsvin i Fagersta i september 2023. SVA och AgriFood har nu sammanställt de ekonomiska effekterna.
Det var i september 2023 som afrikansk svinpest upptäcktes hos vildsvin i trakten kring Fagersta.
Nu har AgriFood Economics Centre, i ett projekt lett av Statens veterinärmedicinska anstalt (SVA), räknat på kostnaderna för utbrottet. Totalt uppskattas de till 151 miljoner kronor.
Omkring 123 miljoner kronor var direkta kostnader för bekämpningen – bland annat för personal, provtagning, stängsel och insatser av jägare.
Fördelades ojämnt
Ytterligare 28 miljoner kronor består bland annat av stöd till Fagersta och Norbergs kommuner, epizootiersättningar och en beräknad välfärdsförlust när människor inte kunde använda skogen för friluftsliv och rekreation.
Rapporten visar att de så kallade epizootiersättningarna fördelades ojämnt. Av omkring 6 miljoner kronor gick merparten till lantbruket. Skogsbruk, jakt, besöksnäring och idrottsföreningar fick betydligt mindre.

The county administration in Västmanland describes a very sensitive species that is only found in a few places in the county and whose population has declined in Kolbäcksgropen. Strömsholm's golf club has for decades taken water from the southern dam for irrigation without notification, which led to a legal conflict. Today, the club has a permit for limited water extraction, but the county board does not want to reveal which species it is, citing that the survival of the species is more important than public transparency. The club is now investigating alternative solutions, such as a dam to maintain the water level in the northern pond where the species is found.
