International comparison of producer prices for milk

Market information

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 May € 50.60

The calculated advance milk prices will average € 50.60 per 100 kg of standard milk in June 2025. This means that the average standard milk price is slightly higher than in May 2025 (+0.3%). The average milk price in June 2025 is 13% higher than in the same month of the previous year.

Despite a relatively stable average, there are differences between dairy companies. Milk prices of Belgian, French, Dutch, and Irish dairies were mostly stable, sometimes rising slightly, while in the UK they fell slightly, as did Spain. A positive outlier within the EU was the Finnish company Valio. Outside Europe, the milk price expressed in euros was under some pressure, but this was purely a reflection of exchange rate effects.

Please find the complete monthly overview below.

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.
