This year, the world has seen a decrease in the production of raw milk under the influence of the weather and as a result of the increase in the cost of production. In Ukraine, milk yields began to fall from the end of June due to the heat and long-term power outages caused by Russian missile strikes on energy infrastructure facilities. A reduction in the supply of raw milk and a shortage of milk fat contributed to the increase in raw milk prices in various regions.
