WE ARE HERE UNTIL THE END: TOV "AF Kyivska" and PSP "Kolos". Farms continue to work.

❝If the active phase of the war continues until the end of the year, the losses of the industrial dairy sector of Ukraine may amount to 100,000 cows. This is roughly a quarter of all industrial livestock. However, we expect that there will be no significant collapse or shortage of dairy raw materials and dairy products on the territory of Ukraine. Farms continue to work. And even when communicating with farms located in the frontline zones, we hear one message: WE ARE HERE UNTIL THE END ❞, - says Hanna Lavreniuk, general director of the Association of Milk Producers.
