Dairy Industry Trends in Russia

The dairy industry is one of the fastest developing sectors in the world. It depends on a wide range of factors, e.g., consumer demands, production trends, technological achievements, social issues, economy, environment, etc. The article compares the development of the dairy industry in Russia with global trends and outlines the prospects for competitive dairy products on the domestic market. The review covered relevant scientific publications registered in Web of Science, Scopus, eLIBRARY.RU, Springer, and Pubmed in 1990–2024. Personalized dairy foods are a prospective direction. The growing demand for easily digestible castomized dairy products is caused by the world population ageing. Nanotechnology opens new prospects for the diary industry as the latest systems of production management make it easier to run large cattle farms and megafarms. The government allocates investments for agricultural digitalization, selection, and breeding. Stock record and identification are fundamental elements of digital animal husbandry. They initiate all other production processes, i.e., insemination, replacements, milking, feeding, sorting, veterinary and zootechnical services, feed production, etc. These issues will be the focus of dairy research in Russia in the future.
