International comparison of producer prices for milk
The international milk price comparison started again in 2022 under the name EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison. European Dairy Farmers (EDF) and ZuivelNL decided earlier that year to continue the milk price comparison. The international milk price comparison is published monthly by EDF and ZuivelNL on their websites.
Average milk price September € 47.50
The calculated advance milk prices in September 2024 amount to an average of € 47.50 per 100 kg of standard milk. This is an increase of € 1.33 compared to the previous month (+2.9%). This month, no milk price could be calculated for the French dairy company and the milk price for August was included in the calculation of the average. From January 2024, due to the addition of the Belgian LDA, the calculated milk price will be based on 16 instead of 15 dairy companies. The average milk price in September 2024 is 15.7% higher than that in the same month last year.
This month, almost all calculated milk prices of the European dairy organisations rose again. Again, due to a higher fat and protein valuation. Except for the Spanish dairy company Capsa and the French dairy company Sodiaal, they showed a decrease. The reason for the increase in the milk price was mentioned by the Belgian dairy company Milcobel as the reduced supply of milk due to the impact of the bluetongue virus on milk production in the sector.

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.
