According to the latest data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine in January-October of this year, milk production in farms of all categories amounted to 8.96 million tons, which is 0.8% less than for the corresponding period last year.
Ukrainian producers of fresh dairy products continue to experience difficulties in selling products. This is not surprising, because it was in October, the most massive and significant increase in prices for fresh dairy products.
The expected mark of 10 UAH per kilogram of milk in October could not be kept and crossed this line. The reason for this was the atypical actions of individual processors, which were aimed at returning the previously lost raw materials by raising the price.
According to the results of January-September 2017, all categories of Ukrainian farms produced 8.1 million tons of milk, which is 0.9% less than in the same period last year.
As of October 1, 2017, by all categories, the farms of the Chernivtsi region produced 213.7 thousand tonnes of milk, 1.6% less than the same date last year.
