Despite April, the average milk prices are still stable. Separate producers have already received protocols with lower prices, but the latest monitoring has not yet shown average price changes in the context of all regions.
This is reported by Vоlodymyr Andriіets, an analyst of the Association of Milk Producers.
Preferably, prices for small and medium batches of higher and first grades have changed, but it took place point and generally where they previously installed above the average market median.
Thus, the average prices remain at their previous levels:
• Extra - 10.21 UAH / kg,
• Higher - 9.81 UAH / kg,
• First - 9.26 UAH / kg,
• Middle-grained three grades - 9.76 UAH / kg. (without VAT).
Average market range of prices for the average and large batches of extra grade milk by regions: North and Center - 9.80-10.5 UAH / kg; South - 9,80-10,5; east - 9.75-10.5 UAH / kg; West - 9,70-10,45 UAH / kg.
Volodymyr Andriіets notes that the stability of prices in this period is determined by a shortage of raw materials, which is now off seasonal fluctuations. The pace of retirement of cows in the private households sector reached points that will not allow you to provide the necessary weight of milk. This gives all the grounds that this year of the great milk season as such does not be, with which the milk processors are unofficially agreed. Therefore, it is expected that this year the downstream trend will have a much lower degree of "prospective" prices in the spring-summer period.
