In 2023, Germany led European processed milk production, despite a slight decline of 2.24%. The UK and Netherlands were notable contributors, with Netherlands experiencing a remarkable 76.64% growth. France and Spain experienced downturns of 8.3% and 8.34% respectively. Countries like Poland (1.95% rise) and Romania (3.69% rise) saw modest increases. Ireland demonstrated considerable improvement with a 19.49% rise, while Montenegro achieved significant growth at 58.6%. Greece faced a substantial fall of 20.39%.
Looking forward, there may be a continued shift towards increased production in smaller EU countries and an overall focus on sustainable and efficient dairy production to meet both local demand and export opportunities.
