In the Russian market, manufacturers have recently begun to more often indicate not the actual volume of the product, but the weight of the product on the packaging of drinking milk, cream and kefir. At the end of last year, more than 2021 such packages were sold in the domestic market, informs RBC with reference to the statistics of the Sales.rf service.
One kilogram of milk takes up approximately 970 ml of space due to its high density. However, other information began to appear more and more often on packages on the shelves of retail stores, for example, their volume expressed in 1 kg, 1000 g and milliliters. According to the article, service analysts believe these changes may be related to dairy producers’ desire to reduce the volume or weight of goods in the package.
“This is probably how dairy producers try to hide the shrinkage (by reducing the volume or weight of goods in the package – socialbites.ca),” the experts of the service said.
February 2, Sergey Bachin, founder of the agricultural holding “AgriVolga” declarationIt turned out that the production of sour cream in Russia completely depends on the import of lactic yeast culture (bio yeast culture), which is supplied to the domestic market mainly by manufacturers from Western countries. If restrictions are imposed on the supply of these products, sour cream may not be on the shelves of Russian stores at all.
