world leader cow's milk
In 2009, the collection of cow's milk in the EU close to 27 135 million tonnes. It ranks first worldwide, ahead of the USA (85 million tons).
Germany is the first dairy strength in Europe.
In 2009, she produced 21% of the European collection of milk, against 17% for France.
Other major dairy countries in Europe are:
- United Kingdom, with 9.8% of the collection
- Netherlands, with 8.5% of the collection
- Italy, with 7, 7% collection
The EU-27 produced from milk collected: of liquid milk, cheese, yoghurt, products (milk powder, whey ...).
A dynamic foreign trade Foreign trade
European dairy is dynamic: + € 5.6 billion in 2008.
This result has been increasing since 2004 (except for a slight decline in 2006) even though the balance of agro-food deficit continues.
The EU mainly exports on the world market:
- of cheeses . She is the leader in this segment and holds 62% market share in exports to the U.S. in 2008.
- of butter
-
whey powder - powder milk
main customers for EU dairy products in 2008 are: Russia, the USA, Algeria, Saudi Arabia.
yields variable geometry
The dairy herd stood at 24 million head. It is spread over 2.5 million dairy farms.
The average number of cows per site varies: it ranges from one hundred (Denmark, Cyprus) to 1.5 ... in Romania! The average is between 30 and 40 heads.
turn yields averaged about 6000 liters per annual cow. Being the undisputed champions Norway and Finland (about 8000 liters / cow / year).
They were established in 1984 under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and their withdrawal is envisaged by the European Commission for 2015.
quotas serve to limit and stabilize milk production to avoid surpluses. The principle is simple: we fix the number of liters of milk produced per year throughout the EU, we divide this quantity each country and then calculate the number of liters of milk per cow breeder.
If the farmer meets the quota, he receives funding from Europe. By cons, if it produces too much milk, he must pay a fine.
Since the 2005, we find that the delivery of milk in the EU is below the quota set. In 2008, the difference was - 3.8% (under-construction). Only five member states have exceeded their quotas: Austria, Cyprus, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.

A question of quotas
Quotas are the linchpin of the European dairy sector. They were established in 1984 under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and their withdrawal is envisaged by the European Commission for 2015.
quotas serve to limit and stabilize milk production to avoid surpluses. The principle is simple: we fix the number of liters of milk produced per year throughout the EU, we divide this quantity each country and then calculate the number of liters of milk per cow breeder.
If the farmer meets the quota, he receives funding from Europe. By cons, if it produces too much milk, he must pay a fine.
