International comparison of producer prices for milk

Average milk price December € 43.34

The calculated advance milk prices in December 2025 amounted to an average of € 43.34 per 100 kg standard milk, € 1.24 lower than in November (-2.8%). As a result, the average standard milk price has fallen for the sixth consecutive month, although the pace of the decrease eased somewhat. The average milk price in December 2025 is nearly 15% below that of December in the previous year.

With the exception of some processors in Finland and Ireland, milk prices across Europe are showing a downward trend. Milk prices in the United States also fell sharply. The persistently strong growth in milk production is a key factor in this development.

EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison

The joint project was discontinued in 2021 due to cutbacks at ZuivelNL. EDF continued to collect milk price information making it possible to calculate and publish comparable milk prices of the missing months from March 2021 onwards.
The name has been changed to EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison to give visibility to the executing parties. In terms of content, it is a continuation of the LTO International Milk Price Comparison.
