Environmental restrictions in the European Union are ‘stagnating’ milk production in the bloc, according to the assessment of the US Department of Agriculture.
The profit of Dutch company Royal FrieslandCampina N.V. decreased by 16.7% over the first half-year of 2016 to €160m ($178m) compared to the same period in 2015.

new report.
The international demand for dairy products has eased slightly and
prices for supplies are likely to moderate in the next several
months, according to a new report.
