Georgy Kukhaleyshvili notes that another increase in prices for raw milk in Ukraine was influenced by the increased demand for butter on foreign markets in November. Since New Zealand butter rose to $ 7,000 per ton, European traders began to contact Ukrainian producers with a desire to purchase butter at more attractive prices. After a slight decrease in demand for exchange-traded goods at the beginning of the month, there is now an increase in interest in butter and cheese on foreign markets.
