International Comparison of Producer Prices for Milk
The EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison encompasses milk prices obtained from the average prices paid to dairy producers by sixteen large European dairies. The producer prices of this comparison comprise bonus payments for both volume and quality of milk deliveries. Additional bonus payments are provided for seasonality, specific milk streams, sustainability as well as annual supplementary payments are included in the annual prices.
Furthermore, this comparison also incorporates farm gate milk prices from the USA and New Zealand. In the case of the USA, the prices are determined by referencing the USDA class III price. For New Zealand, the basis for calculation is derived from Fonterra's pricing, as Fonterra stands as the world's leading dairy exporter.
