Growth driver: Increased exports will help boost milk prices in the summer
The increase in the export of exchange goods should restrain the decrease in prices for raw milk in Ukraine during June. The recovery of global demand for dairy products, coupled with the likely reduction in milk volumes during the summer heat, will likely affect the increase in purchase prices in late June and early July.
This was reported by the analyst of the Association of Milk Producers, Georgy Kukhaleishvili.
The average purchase price of Extra Grade milk as of June 5 was 13.69 UAH/kg without VAT, which is 0.30 UAH less than a month ago. The price range for this grade in farms varies from 13.20 to 14.10 UAH/kg without VAT. The upper limit of the price range decreased by 0.50 UAH, and the lower limit decreased by 0.20 UAH for the last month.
Higher Grade on average costs 13.69 UAH/kg without VAT (-0.30 UAH). Prices for Higher Grade milk range from 13.20 to 14.10 UAH/kg without VAT. Compared to the monitoring results of the first half of May, the lower limit of the price range decreased by 0.20 UAH, and the upper limit decreased by 0.50 UAH.
The average price of Grade I milk was 12.95 UAH/kg without VAT, which is 0.34 UAH less compared to the price in the first half of May. The minimum price in farms was 12.65 UAH/kg, and the maximum price was 13.20 UAH/kg. Over the last month, the lower limit of the price range has not changed, and the upper limit has decreased by 0.90 UAH.
Accordingly, the weighted average price of the three grades amounted to 13.44 UAH/kg without VAT, which is 0.31 UAH less than a month ago.
