Since the turn of the century, interest in plant-based milk has increased. This is as more individuals adopt vegan diets and consume more sustainably produced goods. The current increase in food prices around the world has led to a shift away from dairy products and toward plant-based alternatives. The invasion of Ukraine by Moscow has made this worse. Costs for cow feed and fertilizer have gone up as a result. Over 50% of the fertilizer consumed in several European and Asian nations comes from Russia. Additionally, the availability of Ukrainian corn for cow feeding has almost completely run out. According to the UK's National Farming Union, the cost of animal feed has increased by 70% and the price of fertilizer has increased by fourfold.

In the following ten years, it is expected that the market for plant-based milk will more than double. According to experts, the amount will increase from $22 billion in 2021 to $53 billion in 2028. There is now a bewildering variety of plant-based milk available to consumers. There is milk manufactured from soy, almonds, coconuts, cashews, oats, and other ingredients on supermarket shelves. The initial batch of potato milk was released in February. It is marketed as being "deliciously creamy" and comes from the Swedish milk company Dug. "The most sustainable plant-based dairy alternative on the market," according to Dug's advertising. The dairy milk industry is standing up for its goods. It serves as a reminder that dairy milk is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D.
