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. Since October 2022 the international milk price comparison is again published monthly by ZuivelNL and EDF on their websites.
Average milk price August € 41.64
The calculated advance milk prices in August 2023 amount to an average of € 41.64 per 100 kg of standard milk. This is a decrease of € 0.55 compared to the previous month. The average milk price in August 2023 is € 11.22 lower than in the same month last year.
In August, the average milk price fell again. In particular, the milk prices of Irish dairy companies were under pressure. This mainly seemed to be related to price pressure over the past period in international dairy markets, in particular those for commodities relevant to the Irish dairy sector. Outside of Europe, Fonterra had to adjust its calculated milk price downwards again. Meanwhile, the price of Class-III milk in the US showed a strong recovery

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.
