In 2020, Norway experienced a rise in the sales of its milk and dairy products. Milk sales grew by two percent, with an additional 8.6 million liters consumed compared to the previous year. This trend extended to other dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, with cheese sales surging by eight percent and yoghurt by nearly five percent. The increase in dairy consumption is being celebrated by the country's dairy farmers and its Minister of Agriculture and Food, Olaug V. Bollestad, as it is viewed as beneficial for individual health and the nation's self-sufficiency.
