As of November 10 since the beginning of the year, more than 90% of social food products have risen in price. In this case, all types of dairy products have become more expensive than more than 17%.

This was reported by the chairman of the Ukrainian Association of Retail Network Oleksii Doroshenko on his Facebook page.

So, according to him, cheese soft rose by 22%, sour cream - by 20%, milk and butter - by 17%. For ten months of this year, butter added 23 UAH, soft cheese - 18 UAH, sour cream - 8 UAH, milk - 2.5 UAH. Now a kilogram of butter can be bought on average for 158 UAH, soft cheese for 100 UAH, sour cream for 47 UAH, milk for 18 UAH.

"To our dairy basket came the oil, soft cheese and sour cream, bought by kilogram, and one liter of milk. If in general to estimate the cost of the dairy basket, then as of November 10 it was 323 UAH, whereas at the beginning of the year its value was 271.5 UAH. That is, the dairy basket index has increased by 19% since the beginning of the year. Inflation during this period amounted to 11.5%, " says Oleksii Doroshenko. 

He explained that the rise in price was somewhat faster than the general increase in prices for goods and services in the country. Compared with meat and vegetable baskets, the dairy grew in price at a slower pace.

However, this is because he was the leader of growth last year, when domestic prices actually equaled the European ones. This year, meat products and vegetables were already being brought to the European level.
