The projected stabilization of milk prices in Ukraine in February did not happen. - 9.1 UAH / kg, said analyst of the Association of Milk Producers (APM) Yana Muzychenko.

To date, processors have accumulated a sufficient amount of goods in warehouses. The stabilization of the hryvnia does not favor exports. Therefore, manufacturers are forced to reduce the price of goods. They are still reinsured for the period of Lent, which begins on March 11. During Lent, the consumption of milk and its sale naturally decrease significantly.

This year, the market dynamics repeat last year: prices fall in February-March. But already in the summer months there is a stabilization of the cost of milk. The difference in current prices with prices in 2018 is about -2.7% for all varieties, Yana Muzychenko summarizes.

Recall that in 2018 milk prices began to decline as early as January. Then Ukrainian producers made a bet on processing: milk powder and cheeses. Similar processes of price decline took place in Russia and European countries.
