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;
