Czech Republic: Dairy and Products Annual
The Czech dairy sector has been struggling even before the abolition of the EU dairy quota and implementation of the Russian import ban on EU agricultural products. The diary sector out of all Czech agriculture is the one most affected by the loss of the Russian export market. Czech dairy producers have been calling for larger support from the European and local sources. Farm gate prices of milk in 2015 dropped significantly. The Czech Ministry of Agriculture is expecting to implement new support programs in the end of 2015 and in 2016, as many as the European Union will allow.
