Stocks of dairy products in warehouses in Altai region increased 2-3 times, to almost 5 billion rubles - authorities
"Today we have stocks of dairy products in our warehouses - cheeses, butter, whole milk powder, whey. For the remaining cheeses, we have an increase in volumes compared to the same period last year two times, the increase in stocks for butter - almost three times, for whole milk powder - an increase in the range of 10-20%, for whey - almost three times. The total volume of accumulated products in the warehouses of large enterprises is within 4.8 billion rubles", Bolshakov said.
He noted that enterprises are currently looking for new forms of product sales, including via the Internet. In addition, enterprises are trying to work with retail chains outside of Altai region.
"Products of almost 5 billion rubles from the "turnover" of the enterprise are forced to be frozen in warehouses. Closer to autumn, this problem will be solved, because the accumulation of these products and the decline in milk prices is a seasonal situation, repeated from year to year. In addition, this was facilitated by a decrease in the consumption of products in social institutions that were closed with the beginning of the epidemic", Bolshakov said.
He expressed confidence that the situation will begin to stabilize and will be resolved in a market-based way as the restrictions imposed due to the spread of the coronavirus are lifted.
