Outlook
According to Credit Agricole’s Agromap, the global dairy market has entered a phase of relative stabilisation after sharp declines in H2 2025, though prices remain well below year-ago levels. Poland’s farm gate prices fell more steeply than in Western Europe, bringing them closer to the EU average and improving Polish export competitiveness. Credit Agricole maintains its forecast of approximately PLN 210/hl at end-2026 and PLN 230/hl at end-2027.
