  • 29 Jan 2024, 10:53

In 2023, exports of dairy products from Russia increased by 18% compared to the previous year, reaching a record level over the past five years. This is a significant achievement for the Russian dairy industry, which has experienced significant difficulties in recent years.

The growth in dairy exports is due to a number of factors, including:

- Increasing demand for Russian dairy products on the world market.

- Ruble devaluation, which made Russian dairy products more competitive in price.

- Government measures to support the export of dairy products.

Russian dry dairy products, such as skimmed milk powder and whey powder, are in greatest demand on the world market. Exports of these products grew by almost five and three times in 2023, respectively.

The main importers of Russian dairy products are the CIS countries, as well as China, Algeria and Turkey. In recent years, exports to the countries of Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East have been actively growing.

In addition to exports, 2023 also saw an increase in the consumption of dairy products in the Russian domestic market. Consumption of dairy products in Russia increased by approximately 5% compared to the previous year.

 

The growth in dairy product consumption in Russia is due to a number of factors, including:

- Improving the economic situation in the country.

- Increase in income of the population.

- Carrying out a government program to popularize the consumption of dairy products.

 

Consumption of dairy products in Russia has been gradually growing in recent years. In 2023, consumption of dairy products in Russia reached its highest level in the last five years.

One of the most important factors contributing to the growth of exports and consumption of dairy products in Russia in 2023 was the increase in milk productivity of cattle. The milk productivity of cattle in Russia in 2023 increased by 38% compared to the previous year.

 

The increase in cattle milk productivity is due to a number of factors, including:

- Improving living conditions for animals.

- Changing diets.

- Improved reproduction.

 

The industry has also seen an increase in livestock numbers and improved genetics.

The Russian dairy industry is currently experiencing a period of active growth and development. The growth in exports and consumption of dairy products, as well as the increase in cattle milk productivity, are evidence of the successful operation of the industry in recent years.

 

In the coming years, we can expect further growth in the export and consumption of dairy products in Russia. This will be determined by a number of factors, including:

- Increasing demand for dairy products on the world market.

- Implementation of government measures to support the export and consumption of dairy products.

- Improving the economic situation in Russia.

- Increase in income of the population.

 

The growth of exports and consumption of dairy products in Russia will contribute to the further development of the dairy industry and improve the well-being of the country's population.
