The organic dairy farming in the world
The organic
dairy farming in France
The organic dairy
farming in certain European countries
In France
In 1998, around 15000 dairy cows produced 55 million
litres organic milk. It was from that time that subsidies
to convert farmes to organic were increased, plus a
premium was allocated by some dairy industries.
From 1998 to 2002, the organic milk
collectio quadrupled from 55 million to 198 million
litres. At that time, imports still represented around
a quarter of the national production.
In 2006, the financial measures
and organic premiums dropped, so the number of breeders
converting their land decreased.

In 2005, collection went from 228.7
million (in 2004) to 223.4 million litres (in 2005)
,that is to say a drop of 2.4% for a national herd of
66000 dairy cows.
In 2005, the collection of organic
milk represented 1% of the total french collection.
Since 2002, bottled mik has represented
an impotant part of processed organic dairy products.( up to 80% in 2004)
In 2005, liquid milk remained stable, whilst
yoghourts and desserts increased ( +6.5% ). Cheese processing
slightly increased . However, it would seem that butter
increased ( +12.6% ).
In 2006, the upward trend of processed organic products
was confirmed with +15% and +7% on fresh products and
butter respectively.
Regarding consumption, one can see a significant
increase in the ferst half-year 2006, around +28% of
the total dairy products mentioned above.

England:
boom of the sales of milk “bio”,
more moderate growth for cheeses.
According to a report/ratio of OMSCO (Organic Milk Suppliers
Co-operative, principal co-operative of biological milk
collection in the United Kingdom), the biological sale
of milk would have increased by 91% during the year
slipping at at the end of November 2005 and by 300%
over the 10 last years, in particular thanks to the
public image “health” of biological milk
(natural content of Omégo3, vitamins…).
This market could increase of more than 30% per annum
during 3 next campaigns.
The yoghourts also make important great strides and
could develop of 20% per annum in the 3 next campaigns.
The cheeses, them, position slightly in withdrawal with
a rise awaited of about a 10% for the next campaigns.
