Russian dairy farms are being urged to create at least 50,000 modern livestock places annually by 2030, as part of an expansion plan that involves the consolidation of small farms into larger, more efficient operations. This move is expected to boost profitability and resilience to market fluctuations. The number of marketable milk production in Russia is projected to grow by 3% by the end of 2022, with cheese being the most dynamically growing category. However, the production and consumption of fermented milk products, especially kefir, have decreased. Import of milk into the country has dropped by nearly 30%, while domestic milk supply has increased from 74% to 84%. Dairy exports have seen a significant increase of over 20% last year.
