Russian milk producers are planning to increase production for the next year, as discussed by the Ministry of Agriculture and industry representatives. Despite an increase in production, which reached 26.1 million tons in the first nine months of the year, there has been a rise in the average prices for all categories of dairy products since the start of the year, which has surpassed inflation by 7.4%. The most significant price increase was seen in butter, with a rise of 30.2%.
