Conducted in the Russian Federation regionalization on infectious diseases of animals will not lead to severe volatility in dairy prices, and in the future may reduce them, said the Deputy head of Rosselkhoznadzor Nikolai Vlasov, speaking at the "round table" on the topic of regionalization in the press center MIA "Russia today".

From 1 February 2017, the regions receive statuses on infectious diseases of animals, in accordance with established rules of transportation of controlled goods. 25 constituent entities of the Russian Federation imposed restrictions on the shipment of raw milk to other regions. Now the milk, which is exported from these regions must be pasteurized.

"We hope that the price does not rise and fall. Manufacturing would occur in a safer environment. This is a global trend," — said Vlasov.

"When you enter regionalization in some regions may create excess production, in others a disadvantage. That is, the regionalization will necessarily lead to local price volatility... From what they (prices – ed.) will depend on? From the current status of the region. However, the strong movements with the prices we do not expect", — he added.

According to Vlasov, the prices of pasteurized milk will not grow. While there may be problems with raw milk as "from one region can not be exported, i.e. within the region may occur the lack in the other – excess. Accordingly, prices will fluctuate," he said.
