Why confinement is boosting milk consumption in France

Tridge summary

In 2020, milk consumption in France experienced a significant surge, growing by 4.8% to 2.25 billion liters, marking the first increase in several years. This rise was largely attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic, with more people eating breakfast at home and teleworking. The diversity of milk products has also played a role in its resurgence, with an expansion in product offerings including goat's and sheep's milk, lactose-free milk, and fair-trade milk. The brand 'Who's the boss ?!' has been particularly successful, selling over 60 million liters of milk per year and generating 90 million euros in revenue with its 36 product references. Despite this, milk producers still faced challenges in 2020, with many not reaching high selling prices and the National Federation of Milk Producers reporting that producers lost 13 euros per tonne of milk in 2020.
