On February 16, on Friday, on the sidelines of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi, during the meeting of the head of government with governors, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov appealed to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a request to limit the turnover of powder milk in the country.

“Dmitry Anatolievich, I would like to say that milk has always lacked in winter, our republic produces a lot of milk and milk has always exported. Such a situation has happened this year: no export, milk prices decreased by five – eight roubles than last year and, of course, it creates a big problem for the citizens. Dairy factories bought powder milk, restore the milk, produce goods. Therefore, without your interference, this issue will probably not be solved, if we promote the launch of powder milk and the manufacture products from it, it will result total losses,” Minnikhanov said.
