During a meeting of the "Milk and dairy products" working group, the market situation in individual Member States was discussed, highlighting an increase in production in some countries but a decline in others. Milk purchase prices have been falling since January 2023, but the downward trend has slightly slowed down. Experts raised concerns about the challenges faced by milk producers, including falling prices, high production costs, and a lack of generational renewal, which may lead to a decline in milk production.
