Milk prices monitoring. August 2018
Reduction of milk supply for processors due to seasonality and dry weather has affected the growth of milk purchase prices.
In addition, severization of requirements for the quality parameters of milk for processing affects the gap increase between the price for Extra Grade milk and other grades.

The main increase in price took place in the second half of August. Extra went up by 0.20 UAH — to 9.29 UAH/kg (including VAT). The average price for this grade of milk in August was 9.19 UAH/kg, which is 0.21 UAH higher than in July.
Higher Grade in August was 8.51 UAH/kg, which is 0.05 UAH higher than in July. Grade I cost 7.98 UAH/kg, which is 0.02 UAH lower than in July.
