The structural transformations occurring in the Polish dairy industry, to a large extent, arise from the processes of its adaptation to the uniform EU market conditions. The thorough mod-ernization of milk production and processing technologies has enabled the producers to achieve a considerable improvement of the quality of dairy products, which alongside the cost and price advantage of Polish dairy producers is an important contributor to the competitiveness in the EU market. The purpose of this study has been to make an assessment of the prospects for further growth in the competitiveness of the Polish dairy industry in international markets. The dairy industry in Poland was compared to selected EU countries with regards to the quality of raw ma-terial supplies, the worth and structure of the production of dairy products, labour efficiency, and production concentration. The study showed that any further growth in the export of Polish dairy products will require more intensive promotional campaigns, so that European consumers would be able to identify Poland with a greater array of dairy products.

“…This is the consequence of differences in the natural potential, but also the result of various social, economic and regulatory contexts [11,13]. Therefore, the economic and financial situation of specialized milk production farms differs strongly between EU countries and between EU regions, and it is difficult to consider it stable [14,15].…”

Economic Situation of Dairy Farms in Identified Clusters of European Union Countries

The economic situation of EU dairy farms is unstable and differs strongly between member countries. Most studies addressing the EU’s agricultural sector focus on selected countries or selected groups of operators. Conversely, this paper seeks to determine the economic situation of dairy farms in EU countries grouped into types according to their production potential. The analysis relied on data collected and processed in the FADN (Farm Accountancy Data Network). The farms were classified based on a hierarchical clustering routine. The agglomerative technique was used. Distances between clusters were calculated using the Ward’s method. In turn, the distance between countries was calculated as the Euclidean distance. This study enabled the identification of five different types of dairy farms in the EU. On an EU-wide basis, medium and large-sized highly specialized intensive farms play a key role in milk production. Despite their profitability being somehow restricted, they report high levels of labor productivity thanks to an advantageous production potential. In turn, an insufficient potential is among the main restrictions faced by other dairy farms in the EU; their advantageous financial indicators often fail to provide satisfactory levels of income which could drive investment and consumption opportunities.

“…Other studies from different provinces of Turkey demonstrated that the share of feed cost in total operating cost is 71.34% in Çanakkale province which is located in North Aegean, 69.82% in Samsun province (Blacksea Region), 89.35% in Adana (Mediterranean Region) and 86% in Kayseri province (Center Anatolia) (Şahin, 2001;Aktürk et al, 2010;Yılmaz, 2010;Gündüz ve Dağdeviren, 2011). This ratio is about 56% in the USA, 50% at EU, 31% at New Zealand, 40% at Netherlands, 35% for Germany, 12% at Lithuania (EU 2015;CDFA, 2016;DairyNz, 2017;Gołaś, 2017). It was respectively followed by veterinary and medicines (3.06%), animal insurances (2.83%) and electricity (2.35%).…”

“…The share of purchased feed in the total feed cost is 94.44%. This percentage is 93-99% in Malta and Spain, 67-69% in Sweden, Finland and Hungary (Gołaś, 2017). The most important ones for purchased feed cost are factory produced feed (65.51%), silage corn (13.92%) and alfalfa (7.74%).…”

In Turkey, studies investigating the economic effects of climate change on agriculture are limited and there is little or no research that focuses on livestock production as regards changes in climate. In this context, the main objective of this research is to analyze the impacts of climate change on dairy cattle farms in terms of costs, according to different future scenarios and farms scales. Interviews were conducted with 140 dairy farmers in Thrace Region. To analyze the change in costs, the model developed by Calil et al. (2012) was used. According to the results of cost analysis, it was determined that climate change will lead to a 10-50% cost increase on dairy farms by the year 2044. The heat stress is responsible for 48-71% of the increase in the cost of production, where 24-52% is due to an increase in feed prices. Based on the outcome of this research, it was suggested that agricultural extension activities should be carried out in order for farms to get adapted to climate change. Agricultural supports and investment projects should be related to climate change.
