As the representative of the Department of agricultural development of the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and food Olena Dadus said during the Milky Forum 2024 conference, the Ukrainian dairy industry is adapting and developing. According to her, the regulatory framework is being improved in accordance with European standards and this is positively perceived by market participants.

It is noted that more than 90% of the milk received for processing is produced  by agricultural enterprises. At the same time, the quality of extra-class milk, which accounts for more than 40% of processed milk, has also increased.

This was facilitated by the fact that there were opportunities to increase  exports of dairy products, in particular to the countries of the European Union. Ukrainian exporting companies must meet the quality criteria for finished products and raw materials. That is why the issue of adapting Ukrainian legislation in the dairy industry to EU requirements is relevant

Olena Dadus emphasized.
