Cheese is a unique product of animal origin. The history of cheese-making dates back millennia, and every nation has its own traditional cheese formulations. Recent decades have seen a growing public interest in craft cheese-making and national cheese-making. As a multinational country, Russia boasts a wide range of traditional cheeses. However, the domestic cheese market belongs mainly to such popular foreign cheese sorts as Mozzarella, Camembert, Tilsit, Brie, etc. The steady increase in consumer demand for cheese products encourages cheese-makers to expand their product range, and, in their search for new formulations, they often appeal to traditional cheeses, e.g., those produced in the Altai Region. Despite this trend, the average annual per capita consumption of cheese in Russia remains at 6.5 kg while in some other developed countries this criterion is as high as 16 kg. The present development assessment of the Russian cheese-making industry showed a severe shortage in domestic direct-application starter cultures. Russian cheese-makers prefer imported recombinant milk-clotting enzymes, which significantly hampers industrial development. A new domestic production could provide enough raw materials to satisfy the growing demand for rennet products. At present, the raw milk production capabilities cannot meet the ever-increasing needs. The domestic market of dairy raw materials is dominated by cow milk while goat milk and sheep milk are associated mainly with soft cheeses, and buffalo milk occupies a very narrow sector of craft cheese-making.

В статье рассматриваются тенденции развития отрасли сыроделия. Анализ ключевых трендов российского рынка производства сыра демонстрирует присутствие организаций различного уровня, среди которых малый бизнес усиливает свой сегмент на рынке сыров и сырной продукции в части развития ремесленного сыроварения. В качестве производителей в данном сегменте выступают семейные молочные фермы, индивидуальные предприниматели, крестьянские (фермерские) хозяйства, личные хозяйства населения с преобладающим производством мягких сыров. Изучение развития отрасли основано на статистических данных о рыночных тенденциях и потенциальных возможностях воспроизводственного процесса. Перспективное развитие экспортной деятельности в части производства сухой сыворотки и сывороточных продуктов из побочного продукта при производстве сыров позволит российским производителям расширить свое присутствие на международном рынке. The article discusses the trends in the development of the cheese industry. An analysis of the key trends in the Russian cheese production market demonstrates the presence of organizations at various levels, among which small businesses are strengthening their segment in the cheese and cheese products market in terms of the development of artisanal cheese making. The producers in this segment are family dairy farms, individual entrepreneurs, peasant (farm) farms, and private households with a predominant production of soft cheeses. The study of the development of the industry is based on statistical data on market trends and the potential possibilities of the reproduction process. The promising development of export activities in terms of the production of whey powder and whey products from a by-product in the production of cheeses will allow Russian producers to expand their presence in the international market.
