Estonia’s raw milk purchase prices fell 23% year over year, while retail prices for drinking milk declined by only 4–7%, according to a price-margin study by METK. The study also found that pork carcass prices fell 22% even as retail minced-pork prices rose 38%, with retailers taking a larger share of the final price for the products examined.
Lower farm-gate milk prices have not passed through proportionally to consumers, limiting the demand stimulus that cheaper retail milk might provide and squeezing the farm-to-retail price share. The report indicates margin and price-transmission dynamics rather than a new supply shock, so the direct commodity-price signal is limited.
