The price of butter in the European market is experiencing a rapid increase, leading to a surge in interest in Ukrainian butter imports. Due to the high cost of Polish oil imports, Ukrainian oil has emerged as a cheaper alternative, sparking plans to sign export contracts. Despite the current high prices, Ukrainian oil prices are expected to rise further due to a seasonal reduction in output, which has decreased by 12% in the first three quarters. This decrease is expected to worsen due to rising gas prices leading to the refusal of operators to dry milk, necessitating the production of spreads and other vegetable-cream mixtures. However, the production of these products has so far been lower compared to the same period last year, with a significant increase anticipated in the fourth quarter.
