Abstract

type="graphical" xml:id="euch12104-abs-0101"> In the post-quota era, competitiveness has become the key determinant of success of dairy sectors within the EU. To understand the evolution of the sector, we identify key determinants of the competitiveness of national dairy chains by combining an analysis of competitiveness indicators with case-studies in selected EU countries. Around the Baltic Sea region, we find steady productivity growth on dairy farms in the old Member States, and no evidence that the newer Member States are managing to reduce their productivity gap. In contrast, growth accounting for the dairy processing sector indicates that newer Member States are catching up in terms of productivity..
