Despite a slight decrease of 0.4% in the first five months of 2021, cow's milk deliveries to industries are roughly on par with 2020 levels, reaching 3.17 million tons. There has been a monthly uptick in deliveries since March, foreshadowing a potential increase in production over 2020. However, the average price in May was slightly higher than in April at 0.335 euros/liter, though it remains above the prices of the past five years. The number of ranchers making deliveries has continued to decline, dropping to 11,880 in May from 11,924 in April and 12,586 in May 2020.
