The Director of the Russian Dairy Research Center (RDRC) Mikhail Mishchenko spoke about the domestic enemies of the dairy industry of the Russian Federation at the VI Summer Dairy summit at the X Dairy Olympics, reports The DairyNews from the event.
The first enemy is the technical regulations, the expert said.
"At the moment the technical regulations "On the safety of milk" presents milk, dairy products and ... non-dairy milk-containing products with milk fat substitutes in which the share of powdered substances does not exceed 20%. If we look at Codex Alimentarius, we will see that there are no such products there. Products with non-dairy fats cannot be called dairy products", - said Mikhail Mishchenko.
The second enemy is reduction in consumption.
"It is not true that consumption is reduced because of the fall in effective demand. Other markets are growing. The meat markets are growing, the confectionery industry is growing. And only the dairy industry complains about the reduction in consumption. We do something wrong, we do not know how to sell our products", - said the Director of RDRC.
The third enemy is the monopoly of retail chains.
"We do not work with the end consumer. We act like the retail chains say", - noted Mikhail Mishchenko.
According to the expert, it is necessary to provide legally the access of milk producers to regional markets.
"The problem of the lack of state regulation is also important. The state should reasonably regulate the situation", the analyst said.
