Impact of seasonal production on the dynamics of prices for meat and dairy products in Ukraine

Abstract

There are seasonal deficits during the year in the meat and dairy product markets that lead to an increase in consumer prices. The calculated coefficient of elasticity showed that prices increase by 0.05%, with a decrease in the monthly supply volumes of meat by 1%. The calculated coefficients of elasticity indicate that the consumer price index for drinking milk, cheese and butter increases by 0.24, 0.12 and 0.13%, respectively, and with a decrease in the production of milk raw materials by 1%.
