Will Belarusian milk undermine Ukrainian market?
Ukrainian state structures apprehend that rejected Belarusian milk supplies to Russia may be redirected to Ukraine. A Russian edition Gazeta.ru informs about it.
Georgia did the same in 2006: the wine forbidden in Russia was sent to Ukraine and won up to 55% of the market there.
The milk problem is even more complicated, claim specialists. According to them, Ukrainian enterprises have just managed to normalize their work in the Russian market after the notorious trade wars of 2006 and 2007.
However, Ukraine will find it difficult to refuse from the import of Belarusian dairy products due to political motives. Prime Minister Yuliya Timoshenko promised her Belarusian counterpart Syarhei Sidorski to develop trade and cancel limitations a few days ago.
