RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF MILK PRODUCTION IN RUSSIA 1990-2021
Milk and dairy products are socially important food products, respectively, the volume of production and consumption of these food products is an important segment of food security in Russia. This fact led to the need for a retrospective analysis of the state of the country's dairy market. As the purpose of the study, you can indicate the assessment of the balance of dairy products through the prism of statistics. To achieve this goal, the following methods of scientific knowledge were used: analysis, historical, comparisons and a number of mathematical and statistical methods. You can specify the following as key results: In the 1990-2021 interval, there was a decrease in milk production in Russia, which was due to a significant decrease in livestock and a change in purchasing preferences. Also, an important fact is the relative stability of milk imports, which accounts for about 17% of all resources, which in the difficult foreign economic conditions that have developed in early 2022 can lead to a loss of food security in relation to milk and dairy products and provoke an increase in domestic prices. The results will be useful for researchers in the field of food security in Russia and civil servants to develop a strategy to reduce dependence on imports of milk and dairy products.
