Ukraine’s weighted average raw milk purchase price rose UAH 1/kg in early November to UAH 17/kg excluding VAT, its first time this year above the year-earlier level. Higher prices reflected strong demand, while lower butter prices have pushed milk-processing profitability to about minus 1%, potentially limiting further increases.
Strong demand supports raw milk prices, but poor processor margins—driven in part by weaker butter values—may constrain how much processors can pay. The story concerns milk prices, but the available commodity list has no raw milk symbol.
