In the first four months of the year, Kazakhstan produced 201.9 thousand tons of processed liquid milk and cream, with the North Kazakhstan region being the leading producer. Local dairy companies met 95.1% of the demand, with a 4.9% import rate and a significant decrease in exports. Cow's milk yield increased by 3.5% year-on-year, with the best regional performance noted in Turkestan, Abay, Almaty, North Kazakhstan, and East Kazakhstan. However, the dairy industry faces marketing challenges due to competition from cheaper products imported from neighboring countries, which has led to price increases for local dairy products. Retail prices for milk and cream products experienced significant hikes, with the most significant increase seen in the Turkestan region.
