It is worth noting that the rating of ‘DairyNews’ shows interesting changes in Russia in the first three months of 2020 compared to the same period in the previous year (2019).

Sverdlovsk region came close to the top five, being in the sixth place. In addition, the top ten includes Vologda region, which previously occupied the 13th place of rating.
