Drinking milk production in Russia’s Ivanovo Region rose by 27%

From January to September, butter production in the region rose by 50%, while kefir production increased by 80% compared with the corresponding period of 2025. Production of yogurt, ryazhenka and varenets (fermented baked milk products) increased 2.2-fold.

The increase in output is linked to the launch of the RumelkoAgro-Moloko processing plant in Ivanovo. Its product range includes milk, sour cream and yogurt.

Following reconstruction, the plant resumed production in early 2025. Before that, economic difficulties had left it idle for more than four years.

After the plant came under new ownership, its design capacity was doubled to 200 tonnes of milk per day.

The plant’s products are supplied to customers in Ivanovo Region and six other Russian regions. In May 2026, the company opened a branded store.
