International comparison of producer prices for milk
The international milk price comparison started again in 2022 under the name EDF-ZuivelNL International Milk Price Comparison. European Dairy Farmers (EDF) and ZuivelNL decided earlier that year to continue the milk price comparison. The international milk price comparison is published monthly by EDF and ZuivelNL on their websites.
Average milk price August € 46.17
The calculated advance milk prices in August 2024 amount to an average of € 46.17 per 100 kg of standard milk. This is an increase of € 0.78 compared to the previous month (+1.7%). 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 August 2024 is 11.5% higher than that in the same month last year.
This month, almost all calculated milk prices of the European dairy organizations increased, except Valio and Lactalis remained unchanged. Again, due to a higher fat and protein rating. This month the USA class III milk price rose after a decline last month and Fonterra showed a decline, but this was caused by a change in exchange rate.

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.
