The Turbulent Future of the Dairy Market in the EU
The milk supply situation in the EU is changing. The primary reason is the stabilization of production, with a decline even expected in the medium term. After the abolition of the quota system that regulated milk production in Europe, restrictions effectively vanished, and production grew rapidly, especially in North-Western Europe. According to Rabobank, a reduction in milk production volumes is expected in North-Western Europe over the next 5–10 years. This decline poses challenges for processors who, following the abolition of quotas, invested significant capital into expanding capacities, counting on the continued growth of milk yields. While production did indeed grow between 2015 and 2020, under conditions of further contraction, a portion of processing capacities may remain underutilized.
