Summary
Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union (EU), aims to provide high-quality statistics and data on Europe. In partnership with National Statistical Institutes and other national authorities in EU Member States, Eurostat produces European statistics through the European Statistical System (ESS). Eurostat’s comprehensive range of statistics includes data on various aspects of agriculture, such as the structure of farms, economic accounts for agriculture, agricultural prices and indices, agricultural production, organic farming, and the intersection of agriculture and the environment.
Within the milk and milk product statistics, a subset of data focuses on production and utilization of milk on the farm. The dataset covers the years 2013 to 2022 for different EU member countries. The statistics are classified into the following categories: farm milk products delivered to dairies, other milk products (excluding drinking milk, cream, butter, and cheese) delivered to dairies, other milk products (excluding milk and cream) delivered to dairies, raw milk (total available on farms), and raw milk delivered to dairies. There is also a filter for the type of milk utilized (i.e., whole milk, skimmed milk and buttermilk).
Eurostat also offers a user-friendly data visualization tool featuring line graphs, bar graphs, and a geographic map to easily track and explore the trends and changes over time.
