Abolition of milk quotas in the European Union to provide significant growth opportunities for cheese ingredient market.

The milk market in EU was regulated by the quota system that was legislated on 2 April 1984, under the Dairy Produce Quota Regulations 1984. Under this system, all the member states of EU were given national milk production quotas and any nation exceeding the limits was liable for a penalty known as ‘super levy’. There were five kinds of quotas: direct sales quota, wholesale quota, purchaser quota, purchaser special quota, and SLOM quota. Such a restriction on the production of milk in the EU had limited the quantity of milk that can be used as an ingredient by the cheese manufacturers. Reduced milk production has also resulted in loss to the European cheese exporters.

Abolition of the milk quotas on 31 March 2015 had outpaced the production and supply of milk in the European region. According to EUROPA, the abolition of milk quotas is expected to increase the milk production by ~5.0%, while lowering the farm milk prices by 10.3%.
