Milk production in Russia increased: Tatarstan is among the regions that provided the greatest increase
In the first half of 2019 in Russia, the production of milk in farms of all categories amounted to 15,267.7 thousand tons. This is 209 thousand tons (+ 1.4%) more than the same period last year.
The greatest increase in milk production was provided by the households of Voronezh (+46.1 thousand tons), Belgorod (+32.7 thousand tons), Kaluga (+25.5 thousand tons), Kirov (+21.9 thousand tons), Tyumen (+15.5 thousand tons) regions, the Udmurt Republic (+18.2 thousand tons) and the Republic of Tatarstan (+16.2 thousand tons).
In the country, as of today, the gross daily milk yield in agricultural organizations is about 4 thousand tons, which is 145 tons (+ 3.8%) more than at the same date last year.
It should be noted that dairy cattle breeding is one of the priorities of the agro-industrial complex of Tatarstan and, thanks to the implementation by the Ministry of measures to support the production and sale of milk in the republic, positive results are noted.
