Georgy Kukhaleyshvili notes that purchase prices have decreased for all grades, as the supply of raw milk in Ukraine exceeds demand, and warehouses are filled with exchange goods that are difficult to sell. Despite expectations, exports of dairy products to the EU under new quotas have not resumed after October 29, as European traders offer Ukrainian companies lower prices for finished products than last year amid a decline in exchange prices in the world. Butter prices continue to decline in Germany, the Netherlands, and Oceania. Butter exports to Kazakhstan, Moldova, and the South Caucasus have decreased due to an increase in the supply of goods from competitors.
