NOTE:
- Apparent domestic consumption are calculated using the following formula: Production + Import - Export
- Per capita consumption are obtained dividing the apparent consumption by the population (Source Eurostat)
- The self-sufficiency rate is calculated, up to 2019, on the total deliveries of cow’s milk + production of buffalo, sheep and goat’s milk. For 2020 it is calculated only on deliveries of cow’s milk.

Note: Self-sufficiency rate = Milk deliveries/(Domestic use in milk equivalent ME)
Domestic use in milk equivalent (ME) = Milk deliveries + Import in ME - Export in ME
The Self-sufficiency rate does not consider the trade of FFMP (fat-filled milk powder) - HS 190190 and the infant milk formula.
