Raw milk purchase prices in Ukraine rose further at the start of November, reaching a weighted average of UAH 17/kg excluding VAT, up UAH 1 over the month. Extra-grade milk cost UAH 17.20/kg and top-grade UAH 16.90/kg, with first-grade at UAH 16.20/kg.
Prices are now level with and slightly above November 2025, and cheese exports reached a record in October while other dairy exports dipped slightly.
Strong processor demand and record cheese exports are lifting domestic raw milk costs, which feeds through to the price of milk-based feed ingredients for buyers. Dairy-sector demand strength supports prices for dairy byproducts used in animal feed.
