The cost of cheese products is approaching the price of cheese - Sergey Kovalkov
"In Russia, the difference in price between cheese products and cheeses has almost halved. A few years ago it was almost double, the wholesale price for cheese products is on average 200 rubles, while the price of cheese is about 400 rubles per kilogram. This gap is gradually closing, now it is only 25%. The wholesale price of the cheese product is 250 rubles, the cheese - 310 rubles. This suggests that the low purchasing power of the population pushes it to the consumption of spreads, products with substitutes, etc.", - said Sergey Kovalkov.
The expert also said that in terms of exports, Russia should reduce imports from abroad, as well as stimulate domestic consumption of dairy products.
Earlier, Sergey Kovalkov noted that the EurAsEU countries are close to self-sufficiency in milk production.
