Milk production is the most important branch of German agriculture. The German dairy industry is the largest sector within the German food industry. Since the liberalization of the EU milk market and the phasing out of the “milk quota” in 2015, milk prices have been subject to global competition. This is why the dairy markets are among the most volatile agricultural markets.
