# EU Cheese Output Seen Up 0.3% in 2027 as Milk Pool Tightens

> USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service forecasts EU27 cheese production at 11.2 million tonnes in 2027, up 0.3% from 2026, slowing from expected 1.4% growth in 2026. A smaller milk pool available to processors is expected to limit output growth despite strong domestic consumption and export demand.

## Why it matters

Tighter milk availability constrains cheese production growth, limiting supply even as demand remains firm. That could support dairy product prices, although the article notes EU cheddar prices were 28% below year-earlier levels in September.
