Dairy industry in Finland - statistics & facts

For many consumers, dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, are an important nutritional source and part of their daily diet. Dairy farming is a branch of agriculture that involves the processing of raw animal milk into these dairy products. Over the past few years, the production volume of milk and dairy products in Finland has declined and totaled approximately 515 million liters in 2023.

Production of dairy products

The number of dairy farms has been steadily declining. In 2022, roughly 4.900 dairy farms were producing milk in Finland, nearly half as many as in 2012. This may be partially due to the decreasing price per liter paid to dairy farmers. Valio Ltd is a Finnish manufacturer of dairy products and one of the largest companies in the country. Valio has around 3.700 dairy farmers. The products of the company include cheese, powdered ingredients, butter, yogurt, plant-based products, and milk. Since 2017 the net sales of Valio have been increasing, amounting to just over 2.23 billion euros in 2022.

Consumption and prices of dairy products

While per capita consumption of milk drastically declined by over 30 kilograms from 2012 to 2022, per capita consumption of cheese increased in the same period by over four kilograms. The consumer price indexes of milk and milk products have developed in different directions over the past few years. However, as of 2023, the consumer price index of milk and the consumer price index, of milk products reached a new high.
