Over the past month, certain dairy products in Ukraine have become cheaper amid weak domestic demand for whole milk products, an increase in cheese imports, and the suspension of dairy exports to the EU, reports analyst of the Milk Producers Association, Georgiy Kukhaleishvili. According to the monitoring, prices have decreased for milk in film, kefir in bottles and glass, sour cream in cups, drinking and spoon yogurts, as well as a number of hard cheeses, including "Ukrainian", "Gouda", "Mozzarella", "Suluguni", and "Feta". At the same time, the cost of "Lyustdorf" butter has remained unchanged. The analyst notes that increased competition from imports, which already occupy about half of the Ukrainian cheese market, as well as uncertainty with new export quotas to the EU, are creating additional pressure on domestic producers. If weak demand persists, the surplus of dairy products is expected to continue affecting prices in Ukraine.

[Agricultural, Fisheries, and Livestock Newspaper=Reporter Kim Shin-ji] Amid the recent ongoing heatwave, the production of raw milk has decreased due to heat stress in dairy cows, causing domestic raw cream prices to soar, and the demand for measures to address this issue is growing. In June, there was an abundance of unused raw milk, leading to an increase in the inventory of whole and skimmed milk powder among dairy companies, causing them difficulties. However, as temperatures rose in July, the production of raw milk decreased, and the production of dairy products also declined. Although fluctuations in raw milk production due to seasonal factors have occurred annually, a suitable solution has not been found. In particular, as the production of raw milk has decreased, the price of raw cream, which is widely used in baking and pastry, increased by up to 7% compared to the previous month in July.
