Ukraine: Dairy and Products Annual
Production of dairy products is expected to decrease in 2016 due to reductions in fluid milk supply. Significant currency devaluation negatively impacted domestic consumption and imports. Exports of dairy products increased with exception of cheese. Exports of cheese to Russia stopped in 2014 and are not expected to recover in 2016. Processors were not able to develop new markets. Domestic demand shifted toward the cheapest products and is expected to stabilize in 2016.
