# Increased production in EU dairy outlook | AHDB

> The European Commission projects EU-27 milk production will rise 1% in 2021, driven by a 2% gain in yields despite a 1% fall in the dairy herd. EU butter exports are forecast to rise 4% and cheese exports 4%, with whey exports up 5%. Foodservice recovery is expected to lift EU butter and cheese consumption.

## Why it matters

Higher EU milk output and stronger export flows add supply to world dairy markets, but expected foodservice recovery and butter demand offset much of the effect.
