Due to the introduction of restrictive measures on livestock products from Ukrainian enterprises, prices for hard cheeses have begun to rise in Russia. This was reported at a press conference on Wednesday by Minister of Agrarian Policy Oleksandr Baranivskyi, according to a correspondent of "proUA".
"Prices have already begun to rise there. In recent days, hard cheeses have become 12-15% more expensive," he said.
Baranovskyi also reported that he has information that stocks of dairy processing products in the warehouses of Russian retailers are running out. In this regard, the Ukrainian minister predicts a further increase in prices on the Russian market for products that Ukrainian dairy producers are currently unable to export to the Russian Federation. "Importing such products from other countries will cost Russians significantly more," Baranivskyi is convinced.
