Milk Production in Ukraine Fell by 15% in July

In July, milk production in Ukraine decreased by 15% compared to last year, totaling 563.7 thousand tons. The decline was mainly due to household farms, where milk yields dropped by 28.3%. At the same time, agricultural enterprises increased production by 4.5%, reaching 281 thousand tons of milk in July. From January to July 2026, total production amounted to 3.55 million tons, which is 12% less than in the same period last year. The share of enterprises in total production reached 54%. The main reasons for the decline in milk yields include heat and high production costs, which hinder the fulfillment of supply plans. In the first half of the year, Ukraine imported 23 thousand tons of cheese, which is 20% more than the previous year. This is equivalent to about 250 thousand tons of milk that could have been utilized by Ukrainian producers. Russian attacks on distribution centers also negatively affect the logistics of dairy products. Exports of dairy products from January to July decreased by 9% in physical terms and by 18% in monetary terms.
