Price of UHT milk Rose 28% until June

According to data from GfK, a company that tracks actual sales of durable goods to the final consumer throughout the national territory, the price of a liter of UHT milk has risen 28 percent since the beginning of the year until the second week of June. The southern region was the one that suffered the greatest impact, tallying 36% variation in the period. "With the low temperatures, the grass did not develop properly, losing nutrients and harming production. As we are only at the beginning of winter, the expectation is that milk prices continue high, "says Marco Aurélio Lima, Director of retail audit unit of the GfK.
