# Demand for raw milk leading to supermarket shortages, farmers say

> Estonian farmers say supermarket gaps in some milk products do not reflect an overall shortage of milk, as raw milk production is rising by about 100 tonnes annually. Processors are competing more intensely for raw milk, in part to make higher-value protein products, while European milk prices have risen around 10% in recent months.

## Why it matters

Stronger processor demand for raw milk supports farm-gate prices and could tighten availability for some consumer products. This is a modestly supportive signal for milk markets.
