Algeria has emerged as the second-largest importer of Russian milk powder this year, importing nearly five thousand tons in the past four months, which is twice the amount from the previous year. The imports consist mainly of whole milk powder, with a smaller portion being skimmed milk powder. Kazakhstan currently leads in milk powder exports to non-CIS countries.
