The European Union (EU) is the world's largest producer of milk, accounting for around one-third of global milk production. Milk is a key agricultural product within the EU, generating significant economic and social benefits for farmers and rural communities. Milk production in the EU is regulated by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which aims to ensure a fair income for farmers and stabilize markets through a system of quotas, subsidies, and price intervention.
In recent years, the EU dairy sector has faced several challenges that have impacted milk prices. One of these challenges has been the end of milk quotas in 2015, which led to a surge in milk production and a decline in milk prices. Another challenge has been the global dairy market downturn, which has been characterized by lower demand, oversupply, and falling prices. In addition, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has led to disruption in supply chains and lower milk prices in some EU countries.
According to Eurostat, the official statistical agency of the EU, the average farm-gate milk price in the EU-27 was 33.4 cents per liter in December 2020. This represented a decrease of 4.0% compared to the same month in the previous year. The highest milk prices were recorded in Denmark (38.3 cents per liter), followed by Austria (37.0 cents per liter) and Finland (36.9 cents per liter). The lowest prices were recorded in Lithuania (26.5 cents per liter), Romania (27.6 cents per liter), and Bulgaria (27.8 cents per liter).
The variations in milk prices among member states are influenced by a range of factors, including the local cost of production, supply and demand dynamics, and competition among dairy processors. Milk prices are also affected by different payment systems, such as direct payment systems, cooperative systems, and private contracts. In some cases, dairy farmers receive additional payments for environmentally-friendly practices or animal welfare standards.
In response to the milk price volatility, the EU has implemented several measures to support the dairy sector. These measures include the establishment of a private storage aid scheme to encourage farmers to store surplus milk, the increase of the intervention price for skimmed milk powder, and the provision of financial aid to dairy farmers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The EU has also introduced a mechanism to monitor milk prices and market developments, called the Milk Market Observatory (MMO), which provides regular reports and analysis on milk market trends.
