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.
Ukraine in January-November 2017 exported 2.3 thousand tons of butter to the countries of the European Union, almost 7 times more than in the same period in 2016.
In order to improve the quality of milk, the Department of Agro-Industrial Development of the Luhansk Regional State Administration has developed a regional program for the reimbursement of the value of milking machines for the private sector.
A dairy revolution is being prepared in Ukraine. According to the agreements that our country has signed within the framework of the Association with the EU, the milk from July 1, 2018, the processing enterprises will not be able to use raw milk as raw materials.
Milk and its derivatives are one of the main food products of Ukrainians. Until recently, the main source of raw milk in our country was the personal economy of the population. They supply almost 76.3% of the total milk for processing.
