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. The international milk price comparison is since then published monthly by EDF and ZuivelNL on their websites.
Average milk price May € 50.44
The calculated advance milk prices will average € 50.44 per 100 kg of standard milk in May 2025. This means that the average standard milk price is higher compared to April 2025. The average milk price in May 2025 is 14% higher than in the same month of the previous year.
Despite a stable average, there are differences between the dairy companies. The milk price of Belgian, Finnish, English, and Dutch dairy companies increased, while the milk price of Irish and some French dairy companies fell. The other calculated milk prices remained stable this month. Outside of Europe, the milk price calculated for the US saw an increase this month after a decrease last month, due to a higher fat and protein price.

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.
