The country's cheese crisis is approaching. Starting this week, the price of milk with 3.2% fat, about 1.4 liters, will be sold at 190 lek from 160 lek that has been sold so far.

Milk processing companies have notified retail traders of the next increase since July 20. As dairy prices are not stopping, minority traders are alarmed that there is no cheese on the market.

Cheese prices have increased by almost 100% this year, but now the product is missing from the market, it cannot be found.

Sources from milk processing companies claim that the price increase is being affected by the lack of raw material in the market.

The decrease in the number of cattle has affected the reduction of supplies of raw materials, causing the current production to be sold at very expensive prices.

The decline in milk production on farms has created a crisis for cheese. Factories have sold the entire quantity of milk as processed milk and yogurt and have not been able to reserve the quantities needed to make cheese.

From the time of production, the cheese requires at least 6 months of aging, but it seems that the milk shortage crisis that started at the end of last year is having an effect on the cheese.
