Dairy
4 September 2024
Dairy farmers are often confronted with substantial changes in the prices they receive for their milk. When you have a look at the milk prices of the last decade, it’s clear that all dairy farmers have to deal with fluctuating prices. The cause of this phenomenon? Dairy farmers make relatively small changes in short-run milk production decisions when the milk price changes and consumers do the same thing with purchase decisions. This type of behaviour can lead to volatile prices.

Agriculture in general, and dairy farming in particular, are very demanding sectors in terms of work. The annual workload, the day-to-day activities and the physical aspect of the work all need to be considered. The size of dairy cattle is increasing steadily all around Europe, activities are diversifying, and administrative tasks are becoming more numerous and complex. However, workforce resources are not increasing as fast and are even decreasing in several countries.
