The European Milk Board (EMB) recently held its biannual general assembly, with producers from 13 European milk-producing countries present.
The assembly was an entirely digital event this year, with the long-term survival of European milk production the main topic of discussion.

During the assembly, the fact that only 5% of producers in the EU are below the age of 35 was highlighted, and only 14% are between 35 and 44 years old – which projects a grim future for the European milk production sector.
The assembly then highlighted the fact that the trend is further exacerbated by the price received by milk producers for their products – as many countries are well below production costs.
