International comparison of producer prices for milk
The international milk price comparison resumed in 2022 under the name EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison. This bilingual publication (Dutch and English) is published monthly on the websites of both ZuivelNL and EDF and provides insight into the milk prices that large (and regionally distributed) European dairy companies pay out monthly to their dairy farmers.
Average milk price July € 50.12
The calculated advance milk prices in July 2025 will amount to an average of € 50.12 per 100 kg standard milk. As a result. the average standard milk price is again lower than in June 2025 (-0.9%). The average milk price in July 2025 is 10% higher than in the same month of the previous year.
The decrease in the average milk price was mainly determined by a drop in the calculated milk prices in Belgium. Ireland. and England. In the rest of Europe. the calculated milk price remains stable. Outside of Europe. the decrease in milk price in the USA was notable due to a decline in the protein price.

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.
