The amount of Nonfat Dry Milk (NDM)/ Skim Milk Powder (SMP) produced is growing as fast or faster than yogurt or cheese. The big difference is that the majority (52% YTD) is exported. That means that the price is not determined domestically, but internationally.
In Ukraine export of milk powder is active enough.
Despite growth of production, the prices do not fall anymore. Hopes on increase of demand and prices from importers and promises of purchases by Agrarian Fund are the reasons.
