There are some statements that milk prices are falling down because of its high supply. However, the price for high quality and first grade milk continues to increase.

The Association of dairy producers reports that although sales of dairy products, both external and internal, are recently reducing, prices for raw milk continue to be at a relatively stable level. The main reason of this is the reduction of milk production (by 450.4 ths. tons last year). The dynamics of purchase prices can only slightly reflect the impact of seasonal factors and now we can observe it.

According to the latest monitoring of prices, the average price for extra quality milk was 6.31 UAH/kg, which is 6 kopeks below the price of the previous week. The highest price for this quality was paid in Kirovograd and Kherson regions — 6.60 UAH/kg, and the lowest was in Khmelnytsky — 5.50 UAH.
