In September 2023, Ukraine's dairy exports decreased significantly, with natural volumes decreasing by 30% and monetary income decreasing by 43% compared to August. The main export categories were milk, cream, butter, cheese, and whey. The decrease in exports is attributed to a decrease in milk production and a focus on meeting the needs of the domestic market, as well as the end of the seasonal peak for ice cream sales in Europe. Additionally, imports of dairy products decreased, except for butter and cheese which saw increases.
