The system of state regulation of prices for dairy products in the Republic of Belarus

This article examines the system of state regulation of dairy prices in the Republic of Belarus as an integrated structure comprising the regulatory framework, institutional mechanisms, and price instruments. The development and operation of three subsystems – organizational, functional, and regulatory – are examined. A graphical model of the dairy price regulation system based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle is proposed, along with a critical analysis of the existing regulatory framework. Based on consumer price dynamics for 2022–2024, the effectiveness of price regulation in the domestic market is analyzed. Key factors in maintaining a balanced state pricing policy are identified, as the dairy industry’s production potential expands.
