Export market for Cow Milk in Poland (12월, 2022)

The article provides an overview of the evolution and future projections of milk production in the European Union (EU). It highlights the increasing specialization and intensification of EU dairy farming, with a majority of milk production concentrated in intensive systems and larger farms. This trend has led to higher productivity, but also a reduction in the dairy herd, contributing to a slight annual decrease in total milk production, expected to be more pronounced in EU-14 countries. The future outlook includes potential environmental restrictions further reducing the dairy herd, though alternative production systems may grow. Production increases are anticipated, but not at the same rate as in the past.
