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 October € 46.85
The calculated advance milk prices in October 2025 amount to an average of € 46.85 per 100 kg standard milk. As a result, the average standard milk price is again lower than in September 2025 (-3.7%). The average milk price in October 2025 is now also lower (-4.6%) than the average milk price in the same month of the previous year.
With some exceptions, milk prices across Europe are trending downward. This also applies to milk price trends in the US and New Zealand. A robust milk supply is a determining factor.

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.
