# EU cheese output to rise 0.3% in 2027 to 11.2 million tonnes

> USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service forecasts EU cheese production will rise 0.3% to 11.2 million tonnes in 2027, with growth limited by a smaller milk pool. September 2026 EU cheddar prices were €323 per 100 kilograms, down 28% year on year, which the agency says supports domestic consumption and export competitiveness.

## Why it matters

Slightly higher cheese production adds to dairy product availability, while lower cheddar prices may support demand and exports. The smaller milk pool could limit how much processors can expand production.
