On a monthly basis, mainly more butter; production of other products, except cream, also increased
Compared to September, dairies substantially increased the production of butter (by more than 36%). In addition, the production of drinking milk increased by more than 4%, of acidified milk by almost 2% and of cheese by 1%. On the other hand, cream production decreased by almost 7%.
Year-on-year, too, production of butter and acidified milk products up, others down
Compared to October last year, dairies also increased the production of butter the most, by 11%, followed by the production of acidified milk products, by almost 5%. On the other hand, the production of drinking milk and cream went down by almost 7% and of cheese by less than 1%.
In the first ten months, also more butter and acidified milk and less other milk products
Butter production was almost 7% higher and acidified milk production more than 5% higher than in the first ten months of last year. On the other hand, the production of cheese decreased by just over 2% and of cream and drinking milk by almost 2%.
At the EU level, in the first eight months, mainly higher butter production and lower cream production
Dairies in the EU produced almost 5% more butter and increased the production of acidified milk products and cheese by around 2%. Cream production was down by almost 2%, and drinking milk production by more than 1%. Dairies also produced less powdered milk products.
The price of raw milk in the EU slightly up
The price of raw milk in the EU increased by 0.4% in September and amounted to EUR 0.534/kg. In October, it is expected to increase slightly.
