Summary

The European Union strongly warns that the sudden influx of surplus crops is severely threatening the competitiveness of the dairy industry and its immediate future, driven by a massive increase in export quotas. The European Dairy Observatory confirms that the European milk market has entered a correction phase after a turbulent 2025 year, characterized by a sustained decline in milk price due to an excess production level exceeding supply. This pressure has forced prices to record highs across all major EU markets, including the secondary markets such as butter, powder, and cream, leading to a sharp drop in trading figures. Consequently, the sector faces a critical juncture where consumers cannot absorb the high costs, creating a direct risk to long-term industry stability. Despite these challenges, industry leaders like José Sáez, the new President of the Asociación Nacional de Industriales de Lácteos, have emphasized the urgent need for regulatory measures and international cooperation to secure future supply and ensure sustainable growth. The EU's recent announcement regarding the 2026 market phase and the call for a "Day of Dairy" event highlight a renewed commitment to restoring trust and stability in the global dairy landscape through proactive policy adjustments.
