Apresentação - Sustentabilidade na Cadeia de Produção de Leite na Europa - Cesare, feita durante o workshop Aplicação Prática de Sistemas de Mensuração de Sustentabilidade na Gestão da Pecuária Leiteira - UFV
5. The milk chain in EU – structure
KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN
Dairy markets are very diverse,
• different products (yoghurts, cheeses hard and soft, liquid milk, cream and
butter, high value added ingredients)
• different sizes
• different competition situation (local, national, European),
• different seasonality,
• different logistics due to shelf life.
It is not possible to consider these markets as a single global market which can be
managed in a single way.

6. The milk chain in EU – structure
• Whilst a large and growing proportion of the industry’s output is higher value
added items, a significant proportion still has commodity characteristics, i.e.
products of identical specification in which competition is focused on price.
• The supply chain is extremely diverse.
• There is a large ingredients market both in the EU and overseas and a growing
catering and out-of-home sector.
• There are enormous variations in supply chain relationships. Some customers
are committed to particular suppliers but in many cases commercial
relationships are unstable and of short duration.
7. The dairy chain in EU – structure
There is a much higher degree of concentration amongst retailers than there is in dairy
processing
The valuation of raw milk is central to the competitiveness of processors.
Raw milk is usually the largest single cost component for dairy processors.
For cheese it can constitute up to 80% of the wholesale price.
For liquid milk it can be over half.
After raw milk costs, the majority is accounted for by energy or energy related costs and
labour costs.
For liquid milk the cost of packaging is very significant.
Farmers own a significant portion of processing capacity. Co-ops are estimated to account
for nearly half of EU processing capacity.
BUT FARMERS ARE GETTING OLDER AND STILL REPRESENT THE WEAKEST LINL IN THE VALUE
CHAIN

GLOBAL DEMAND INCREASE
The OECD and FAO, in their most recent Agricultural Outlook
report, predict that global dairy demand will grow by around
2% per annum up to 2023.

10. RELEVANT EONOMIC – SOCIAL AND
ENVIRNOMENTAL ROLE OF DAIRY
PRODUCTS FOR EU
In molte aree svantaggiate e regioni ultraperiferiche, la produzione lattiero-
casearia rimane l'unica fonte di reddito e di occupazione delle aziende
agricole. La sua sopravvivenza è essenziale per evitare l'abbandono delle
terre.
In quanto componente chiave dell'industria agroalimentare presenta un forte
potenziale di crescita e creazione di posti di lavoro nel lungo termine che dovrebbe
essere uno degli obiettivi del nuovo piano di investimenti;
11. How decisions and implementation of
sustainability work
Pro-sustainability Campaigns
(e.g. Soy moratorium)
Investors become aware of possible
damages to companies reputation
Producers/Processors/ Retailers
take action and participate in the
Sustainability guidelines definition
Many private or third party
voluntary sustainability
initiatives emerge (e.g. Sojaplus)
Governments regulation follow
and integrate or regulate
sustainability initiatives or
schemes (e.g. Organic in EU)
Media – Researchers – civil society
organizations – International
bodies ( e.g. FAO) provide info on
sustainability challenges
Producers/Processors/ Retailers adapt
to sustainability schemes and
regulations
12. It is important to understand
what the Industry Retailers and
Investors want in terms of
sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY OF DAIRY SUPPLY CHAIN
INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
Nestle UK & Ireland Builds a More Sustainable Dairy Supply Chain
Nestlé has been encouraging its suppliers along its supply
chain to
• reduce emissions
• develope biodiversity-based farming techniques.
Local creameries have been making efforts to
• reduce water consumption,
• reduce greenhouse gasses,
• improve the proportion of milk which comes from forage,
• plant wildflowers to attract and encourage the resurgence
of native flora and fauna species.

British dairy supply chain a ‘global leader’ in terms of environmental sustainability: Industry report
By Mark Astley+ , 26-Jun-2013
The British dairy supply chain – comprising farmers, processors and retailers – is a “global leader” in terms of environmental
sustainability, an industry-funded report has claimed.

• Shall give guidance to the dairy sector worldwide as to how to
work towards improvement of its sustainability
• Allows the sector and industries working in the sector to
develop coherent communication on the progress made on the
road to improved sustainability.

28. THE EU POLICY FOR MILK
THE MILK PACKAGE
http://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/milk/milk-package/com-2014-354_it.pdf
Financial support to milk producers in disadvantage areas to
prevent rural migration and environmental degradation
No other measures directly linked to sustainability
Main concern is preventing price volatility, frauds, protect producers from risks
and in general promote the sector demand both internally and internationally
29. THE EU POLICY FOR FOOD CHAINS
High Level Forum for a Better Functioning Food Supply Chain published its
final report on 15 October 2014, concentrates its discussions and/or actions in
the following areas:
- business-to-business trading practices,
- the Internal Market for food and drink products,
- sustainability,
- social dialogue and food price monitoring.
EDA is following the work carried out by the High Level Forum via the Food & Drink
Europe B2B platform

30. The HIGH LEVEL EXPERTS GROUP (HLG) should consider
how the EU can mobilize resources to invest in first order R&D into, among
others,
agricultural productivity
and how dairy can make a contribution to climate change mitigation
The EU dairy industry does not have the resources to engage in first order
scientific research.
