This page contains data regarding key components of the Russian dairy industry over a given time period.

This report highlights the complexity of the industry, which should be analysed from several viewpoints: in terms of milk production and delivery, the processing of the commodity into cheese, imports and domestic consumption.

Import and domestic consumption trends (for cheese in particular) should be considered in conjunction with the development of the country (see GDP), as this is linked to oil and gas price fluctuations. Russia is, of course, a major producer of both oil and gas.
