According to the latest report from the USDA, milk production has been on the rise in most Western European countries, but it has decreased in France and Southern Europe compared to 2022. This trend has led some analysts to predict a drop in milk prices as production continues to increase.

Meanwhile, in Germany, a strike by public transport workers is affecting the country’s railways and ports, which could impact the shipping of dairy products.

In Eastern Europe, milk production is showing a positive trend, especially in Poland and other countries. The spring season is expected to bring further growth. However, the war between Ukraine and Russia is affecting the prices of feed and energy sources, causing problems for the Ukrainian dairy industry. The Farmers’ Cooperative has announced aid for farmers in Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania to compensate for the market disruptions caused by the war.

Overall, milk production trends are mixed across Europe, with both growth and challenges in different regions.
