Milk prices in the countries of the European Union are decreasing, so dairy products from Ukraine may lose their appeal to Europe. The analyst of the Association of Milk Producers Giorgiy Kukhaleishvili told about this. According to him, at the end of March, as well as at the beginning of April, the difference in the price of milk in Ukraine versus the EU was plus 20% on the spot market. According to preliminary data from the European Commission, in March of this year, the average price of a kg of raw milk in the EU reached 51.79 euro cents. Compared to February, it decreased by 3%.

The most expensive milk is currently sold in Cyprus (65.36 euro cents), Malta (60.55 euro cents) and Spain (58.54 euro cents).
