The state of dry milk production in Ukraine: Trends and facts

The continuous decrease in milk powder production has become an urgent problem for Ukraine, because the country is losing its position in the international market of dairy products. Existing trends indicate a rapid decrease in production volumes of this important product.

One of the key reasons for this decrease is the increase in the cost of keeping livestock and producing feed. Farmers are looking for ways to use resources more efficiently, but this leads to a decrease in milk powder production. The decrease in consumption of dairy products by the domestic market also affects demand and stimulates this negative trend.

National support programs for the agricultural sector are important, but their effectiveness needs to be strengthened to stimulate milk powder production. It is necessary to actively attract farmers to participate in such programs and provide them with the necessary means to modernize production.

Innovations in the field of dairy production can be a key factor in solving this problem. The introduction of modern technologies, improvement of livestock genetics and optimization of milk processing processes can raise the efficiency of production and increase its competitiveness.

A significant step could be cooperation between the authorities, scientific research institutions and agriculture to develop strategies aimed at the recovery of milk powder production. It is necessary to create favorable conditions for the development of the industry, ensure access to modern technologies and ensure financial support for farmers.

Ukraine has the potential to regain its position on the world market of dairy products, but for this it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of reducing the production of dry milk and take comprehensive measures to solve this issue.
