December 2025 will bring another drop in milk prices in Europe.
The average price in the EU (excluding the UK) was 49.76 ?/100 kg, which means decrease by 2.7% m/m relative to November.
? On an annual basis The situation is even more clear - the average price of milk in the EU was approximately 9% lower than in December 2024., which confirms the fading of the previous high price cycle.
? Regional variations remain very large.:
- the highest prices remain in island and southern countries (Cyprus, Malta, Italy),
- the lowest in Belgium, Romania and the Netherlands.
The price range exceeds 25 ?/100 kg, which clearly shows the structural differences between the markets.
Poland (49.72 ?/100 kg) found yourself exactly at the level of the EU average,
however, on a monthly basis, it was noted stronger decline (-5.9% m/m).
Compared year to year, prices in Poland were about 6?7% lower, which indicates a gradual deterioration of pricing conditions for producers.
December closes 2025 in a clearly corrective mood, and entry in 2026 takes place at reduced price levels and increased market uncertainty.
