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 April € 50.27
The calculated advance milk prices will average € 50.27 per 100 kg of standard milk in April 2025. This means that the average standard milk price is almost equal compared to March 2025. The average milk price in April 2025 is still nearly 14% higher than in the same month of the previous year.
Despite a stable average, there are differences between dairy companies, partly due to adjustments in the bonus structure. Outside Europe, the milk price calculated for the USA experienced a relatively large decline once again, influenced by both the lower valuation of milk components and the declining dollar exchange rate.

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.
