Alertă pe piața laptelui din Europa: Producția ar putea scădea pe fondul scumpirii furajelor

Rising feed costs and drought effects are pressuring EU dairy farms, potentially leading to a 2% decrease in raw milk production by late 2026. Farmers face shrinking margins and may reduce livestock numbers. Rabobank estimates that production declines could limit milk supply and support prices in the coming months. Feed prices have surged by 9.2%, exacerbating financial strains. Drought has impacted pastures and animal feed crops, leading to quality feed shortages. Romania has some of the lowest milk prices in the EU, while Ukraine's lower prices may benefit its exporters amid reduced European supply.
