ABOUT
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.

DAIRY MARKET UPDATE JUNE 2026
Dairy Market Update: Strong Supply Keeps Milk Prices Under Pressure
EU standard milk prices averaged €40.04/100 kg in June 2026, down 0.2% from May and more than 20% below June 2025.
Milk prices under pressure: While some European processors kept prices stable or increased them slightly, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland saw reductions.
EU milk deliveries remain strong: May deliveries were 2.8% above the previous year, bringing cumulative growth to 3.9% through May. Global dairy-exporting countries also recorded solid growth, with total output up 3.6%.
Heatwave impacts the market: Extreme heat across Europe temporarily reduced milk supply and supported butter prices. However, ample stocks and limited demand quickly put pressure on prices again.
Skimmed milk powder: Prices declined in June amid weaker export demand, but stabilised in early July and began recovering from mid-July.
Overall, high milk supply and subdued demand continue to weigh on dairy markets, despite some short-term weather-related support.
