Sumario:The LHCb detector has a unique pseudorapidity coverage and low transverse momentum theshold. These properties allow for measurements providing unique insight into particle production in the forward region at the LHC. The latest LHCb soft-QCD results, the measurements of charged particle multiplicity at 7 TeV and the measurement of the $\overline{p}/p, K^-/K^+, \pi^-/\pi^+, (\bar{p} + p) / (\pi^- + \pi^+),(K^- + K^+)/ (\pi^- + \pi^+ )$ production ratios at 0.9 TeV and 7 TeV are presented. These results offer an important input to the understanding of baryon transport and of the hadronization process in a kinematical range where QCD models have large uncertainties.
