Lietuvos pieno sektoriaus internacionalizacijos galimybės Europos Sąjungos valstybėse narėse ; Lithuanian milk and dairy products sector opportunities for internationalization in the European Union member states

Abstract

After Russian Federation declared food import embargo on EU member countries in 2014 the situation of Lithuania dairy sector has deteriorated. Losing one of the largest export market has led to dairy products export fall by almost a third in 2015. Although Lithuania dairy exports to other foreign countries is steadily growing the share of total exports in new markets is low and the majority of production is exported to neighbor countries. The aim of this work is to identify the Lithuanian dairy sector internationalization opportunities in EU member countries.
