Every year on 1 June, the world celebrates World Milk Day — a holiday established by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in 2001. Its aim is to draw attention to the important role of milk and dairy products in human nutrition, agricultural development, and food security.
Milk remains one of the most valuable foods in the human diet, providing the body with high-quality protein, calcium, vitamins, and other essential nutrients. At the same time, the dairy industry is a vital part of the economy in many countries, supporting millions of farmers, processors, and workers around the world.
Dairy farming and the dairy processing industry are of strategic importance to Ukraine. Despite the difficult challenges they face, Ukrainian farmers and processing companies continue to operate, invest in development, and supply consumers with high-quality products.
The UAdairy editorial team would like to extend its warmest greetings to everyone working in the dairy sector: farmers, vets, technologists, processors, researchers, suppliers, and partners. It is thanks to your daily efforts that the dairy industry continues to grow, innovate, and provide consumers with high-quality products.
We wish you good health, professional success, stability, new opportunities for growth, and confidence in the future. May your hard work yield rewarding results, and may Ukraine’s dairy industry remain strong, competitive, and successful.
Happy World Milk Day! 🥛🇺🇦
