Milk: Comparative study in the European market area


This page focuses on a historical perspective that highlights the differences - in figures - of farm-gate raw milk prices within Europe. We have therefore produced:
  1. a table displaying, in chronologic order, the monthly average price of farm-gate raw milk in Lombardy;

  2. a line highlighting the national inflation rates (the consumer price index CPI), gross domestic product (GDP), the average annual price of National Corn and Italian Soybeans, the average annual price of Grana Padano Aged 10 months, the average annual price of Parmigiano Reggiano Aged 12 months and the stock volume of Grana Padano as at 30 June, which serve to provide us with a more in-depth understanding;

  3. a table presenting, in chronologic order, the differences in annual price between farm-gate milk from other countries and farm-gate milk from the Lombardy Region.

Note: Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano draw approximately 42% of the Italian cow's milk. Therefore the fluctuations on the producing cycle (quantity produced, sales in Italy and exports, stocks) of these two PDO cheeses has an impact on the milk price.
