The operational situation in the raw milk market is straining on the eve of the uptrend season. On the eve of the signing of the protocols in July, the issue of changing prices in the direction of growth has already been raised, but for the first time the status quo is still preserved.
This was reported by analyst of the Association of Milk Producers Volodymyr Andriіets.
"Currently, there are all the prerequisites for growth, and this is a shortage of raw materials, rising production costs due to still high costs for feed table components. The situation is also fueled by the adoption of Law 5425-d, which returns the VAT rate for milk producers to 20%." , - the expert notes.
Given these factors, at the moment the fact of rising prices already seems very obvious and only the start time and the level of growth remain in question. It is noteworthy that this is a global trend and this situation is observed in most dairy countries, and in the EU it was accompanied by rising prices during the first five months, in contrast to Ukraine, where prices have been stable all this time.
