The growth in the value of the dairy basket, according to official figures, for the year amounted to 12%. Dairy products became more expensive from 0.2% to 33%: milk grew by 33%, butter - by 29%, sour cream - 19%, and cottage cheese - by 0.2%. Oleksii Doroshenko, general director of the Ukrainian Association of Trade Network Suppliers, wrote about this on his Facebook page, agroday.com.ua reported.
Since early May sausage, butter and chicken have become cheaper in Ukraine. This is evidenced by the data of the inflation barometer, as of May 14, UNN reported.
Falsification of dairy products is actively developing in Ukraine. "Dirty" technology came into industry, and labeling of goods often does not match their actual composition.
In October 2017, the volume of oil production amounted to 8.5 thousand tons, which is 5% more than in October 2016 and 11.4% less compared to September 2017.
Following the results of ten months of this year, Ukraine supplied dairy products to foreign markets for $ 225.6 million, which is 73.2% more than in the same period last year.
