We continue to draw attention to the critical situation with the import of dairy products.  This time we were heard by TV channel 1 + 1.

During 2020, imported dairy products equivalent to 1 million tons of milk were imported to Ukraine.

For Ukraine it is:

15 thousand jobs on farms that were never created;

150 thousand jobs in related industries, which were created not in Ukraine but in the EU;

We urge consumers to include the regime of economic patriotism and choose domestically produced products on the shelves!

And the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture - to support the application for a special investigation to protect against uncontrolled imports!
