In May, Ukrainian producers of whole milk products increased sales and at the same time maintained high prices. Some, taking advantage of the increased demand, even managed to raise prices, reports INFAGRO.
In January-March of 2018 milk exports increased by 48.2% or 110.81 thousand tons to 229.70 thousand tons. This is reported by the analytical department of the Ukrainian Food Export Board (UFEB) according to agravery.com.
There is the highest milk supply in Ukraine now. However, the sale of surplus raw materials is rather difficult. The greatest problem is created by the difficulties encountered with the export of cheese products, INFAGRO reported.
