Milk production costs at agrarian enterprises in Ukraine are lower than in most countries in Western Europe. However, the revenues from milk production were at European level in 2008.

At the same time, positive profitability doesn’t seem to have long-term character in the conditions of producing the milk of comparatively low quality in Ukraine. Today the import of dairy products as well as high-quality raw milk from nearby Belarus has been growing. In addition, the economic recession and decline in milk production in Ukraine force the producers of milk to follow well considered production stratege and accurately choose production technology.
