The state of milk powder production in Ukraine: trends and facts

The consistent decrease in milk powder production has become a pressing problem for Ukraine, as the country is losing its position in the international dairy market. Existing trends indicate a rapid decrease in the production of this important product.

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

National programs to support the agricultural sector are important, but their effectiveness needs to be strengthened to stimulate milk powder production. Farmers should be actively involved in such programs and provided with the necessary means to modernize production.

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

A significant step could be cooperation between the authorities, research institutions and agricultural enterprises to develop strategies aimed at restoring the production of powdered milk. It is necessary to create favorable conditions for the development of the industry, ensure access to modern technologies and provide financial support for farmers. Ukraine has the potential to restore its position in the global dairy market, but for this it is necessary to pay attention to the problem of reducing powdered milk production and take comprehensive measures to address this issue.
