On February 27th 2014 The European Milk Board (EMB) and its two French member organisations APLI (Association des Producteurs de Lait Indépendants) and OPL (Organisation des Producteurs de Lait) presented a scientific study on milk production costs in France.

With this study, a reliable and representative calculation of production costs in the French milk sector is available for the first time. The results of the study take into account the working time of farm managers and their family members and are comparable on a European level.

The study was commissioned by the European Milk Board (EMB) and the MEG Milch Board from the Farm Economics and Rural Studies Office (BAL).
