International comparison of producer prices for milk

Average milk price January € 50.90

The calculated advance milk prices in January 2025 will be an average of € 50.90 per 100 kg of standard milk. This is almost the same as in December 2024. Due to the lack of relevant milk payment statements due to the low season, the milk price for the Irish dairy company Tirlan (Glanbia) was calculated this month based on publicly published information and Kerry on the basis of the month of December. This was also the case for the French company Savencia. The average milk price in January 2025 is more than 15% higher than that in the same month of the previous year.

Since October 2023, the average milk price has shown an upward trend. Now the milk price seems to be stabilizing, and several dairy companies showed a decrease in the calculated milk price in January compared to December 2024. This month, however, the average milk price must be looked at with a caveat, because the input from a few companies is based on the calculated milk price for December. The calculated price in the US showed an increase, mainly due to a higher protein.
