Development of milk delivery and milk prices in the EU Member States. Lies across the EU milk deliveries in the 1st half-year 2016 only or 2.5% over the same period of the previous year. Applying only the recent months from Jun. 16 move the average levels significantly below the previous year. The main reason for the development of the delivery is seen in the fallen milk price, which is located in the EU funds to 26 ct / kg. Compared with the same period the reduction is in the year 2015 rd. 12%. In the various Member States are however different developments. Most United Kingdom stands out, the milk price has fallen by more than 25% to the previous year. It is not surprising, therefore, that on the island, producing milk at first by 2.5% and in recent years from Apr. to July 2016 by an impressive 5.7% is already very early been withdrawn. Also the French dairy industry has responded to the 13% reduction of the price of milk with a limitation of the milk supply of at least 1.3%. Significant decrease of 2.2% in the quantities of milk can be observed in recent times in the under was Italy . There, producer prices have fallen 11%. At one of around 30% import demand incurred significant bottlenecks in the supply. Spot prices for milk trade under dairies already again achieve maximum up to/42 ct / kg at 4.4% fat collected from dairy. On the Iberian Peninsula , the milk deliveries be withdrawn in recent months by 1.3% to 5.9% in Portugal and Spain. This, among other factors, a drop in prices ranged from 3%. In the largest region of production of the EU Germany adaptation despite a price decline of 13% was significantly tougher. 2016 to 2018 the overhang is still in the half-year comparison 3.1%. Only in the last two months Jul/Aug. 16 remain the amounts just below the previous line. In the majority of the new EU Member States developments due to the starting position were significantly different. Most of the CEE countries had utilized their milk quota only to 50 to 75%. With initially high milk prices ranging from 35 to 40 ct / kg, milk deliveries between 5% and 15% was regionally extended yet during the period of the quota system. It only partially more milk was produced, a substantial portion came from the increase in the rate of delivery to dairies to the detriment of self-sufficiency at the local level. The price reductions are part of 3-6%. The milk delivery is restricted but not everywhere. Typical examples include Ireland and the Netherlands. After the abolition of milk quotas have the Irish milk producers by using their large pasture forage potential the production increases phased in up to 20%. Despite a price decline of moderate 3%, the production remains in the 1st half of the year 2016 with just under 8.8% above the previous year. Still more resistant against producer price reductions by about 12% prove to you Netherlands with an increase in production by 11,8 % half year 2016 to 2015. Although net exports is just the milk raw material. Spot prices range among dairies now to the 39 ct / kg. High export receipts in the butter and cheese sales allow high input prices, which affects the General level of producers but for the time being limited in some cases. The control of milk production over the prices paid developed very different results depending on the situations and site conditions of the individual EU Member States as regards their extent. Here the inverse supply behavior plays a short-term role.
