Milk has become more expensive in stores in Sverdlovsk Oblast despite falling demand.

      In the Sverdlovsk Region the retail price of milk has risen sharply, with store prices going up against the backdrop of a collapse in procurement prices for farmers, the EAN agency reports, having examined Sverdlovskstat data.

      According to Sverdlovskstat, at the end of November the average price for milk with 2.5–3.2% fat content was 91.07 rubles per liter. By January 19 it had risen to 93.18 rubles per liter.

      Earlier, the head of the agricultural cooperative Bitimsky, Mikhail Maltsev, told EAN that procurement prices (at which dairies buy milk from producers) fell from 43 rubles to 37 rubles per liter.

      The owner of the Talitsky dairy plant, Yuri Okunev, explained to EAN that the reason for the drop in milk prices was reduced demand, a strong ruble and a worldwide decline in dairy product prices.

      According to Sverdlovskstat data, prices for butter and cottage cheese did indeed fall slightly. A kilogram of butter became 33 rubles cheaper, cottage cheese — 17 rubles. The price of sour cream did not change.
