In structure of dairy export the share of condensed milk became the biggest. 

Actually, leading producers stay up due to active foreign trade. Internal sales of product are declining. Growth of price is slight now, but on the eve of New Year’s holidays producers will try to increase them.

Now, in the middle of November, producers offer their products to distributors on the domestic market at the following price: “Standard” (GOST) – UAH 12.0-13.0/can (380g), “Almost Standard” (almost GOST) – UAH 10.0-11.5/can, made by Technical Specifications (TU) – UAH 7.0-9.0 can. Not canned condensed milk cost UAH 22-25/kg (GOST), UAH 17-22/kg (“confectionery” GOST) and UAH 12-17/kg (TU).

GOST-made condensed milk is contracted for export at USD 0.75-0.80/can. High quality products made by TU are exported at USD 0.60-0.65/can. Products made with use of palm oil and whey are exported at USD 0.50-0.55/can.

4400 tonnes of condensed milk were exported from Ukraine in October. 188 tonnes were additionally sold to Crimea. Two leading companies sold 70% of total volume.

In November export of condensed milk will be very active too. It may happen that sales will be stimulated by reduction of prices.
