Milk on the international market
We invite you to have a look at the data on the »EU Milk Market Observatory« site, where you will be able to
find the latest data on the prices and quantity of milk and milk products. In the last few months milk
production in the EU dropped below the 2015 levels, while raw milk prices are rising. Of the countries in the
region Slovenia increased its milk deliveries the most, followed by Italy. In Austria and Hungary the quantity
of delivered milk didn't change much, while in Croatia it dropped by more than 6%.
Detailed data on production of milk and milk products at the end of June
Detailed data on production of milk and milk products will be published at the end of June 2017. In this
release we will also publish data on fat and protein content in milk and milk products and on its imports and
exports.
