International comparison of producer prices for milk

Average milk price October € 48.93

The calculated advance milk prices in October 2024 amount to an average of € 48.93 per 100 kg of standard milk. This is an increase of € 1.37 compared to the previous month (+2.9%). This month, no milk price could be calculated for the French dairy company Danone and the milk price for September was included in the calculation of the average. From January 2024, due to the addition of the Belgian LDA, the calculated milk price will be based on 16 instead of 15 dairy companies. The average milk price in October 2024 is 20% higher than that in the same month last year.

This month, almost all calculated milk prices of the European dairy organisations rose again. Again, due to a higher fat and protein valuation. On the other hand, the market outside Europe showed a slight decline. This was partly influenced by changes in course.

EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison

The joint project was discontinued in 2021 due to cutbacks at ZuivelNL. EDF continued to collect milk price information making it possible to calculate and publish comparable milk prices of the missing months from March 2021 onwards.
The name has been changed to EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison to give visibility to the executing parties. In terms of content, it is a continuation of the LTO International Milk Price Comparison.
