2.1. Data description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Milk and milk product statistics are collected under Decision 97/80/EC implementing Directive 96/16/EC. They cover milk collected (cow's milk) and products obtained by dairies (monthly, table A), annual production and utilization of milk (all milk) in dairies (annual, tables B and H), statistics on the structure of dairies (every third year, tables D, E, F, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5) and annual production and utilization of milk (all milk) on farms (tables C and I). An annual methodological report is also collected. European Economic Area countries (EEA, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) are requested to provide milk statistics, with the exception of those related to home consumption, as stated in Annex XXI of the EEA Agreement. The Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on cooperation in the field of statistics states that Switzerland must provide Eurostat with national milk statistics. It has been amended in 2013 for covering also some livestock and meat statistics. The same statistics are requested from the candidate countries as acquis communautaire. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.2. Classification system | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The list of items and their definition are from the Decision 97/80/EC : Annex I list of milk products and explanatory notes, Annex II list of tables and explanatory notes. Regional data: The territorial classification of regional data is broken down according to the NUTS classification for Member States. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.3. Coverage - sector | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Statistics on farm production and utilization of milk on farms cover agricultural holdings in Member States. Milk statistics in Dairies cover EU plants whose activity is milk collection and milk product production. The sample surveys must cover exhaustively dairies representing 95 % of the cows’ milk collected by Member States, the balance being represented by sampling or other sources. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Milk statistics (annual) in Dairies are led by the concept of ‘national dairy’, i.e. the dairy sector is considered as a single process, which internal flows are not (intended to be) taken into account. Use of raw milk is followed through production of its two main components, fat and protein content. Milk processed is thus accounted for as an aggregate of UWM (utilized whole milk, with the full content of fat and proteins) and USM (utilized skimmed milk, with the full content of proteins, without fat). As a process can produce skimmed milk further to the main (fat) product and, in such a case, USM can be negative. This is especially the case for cream and butter production.
Regional data Region means a sub-division of a Member State territory. 'Region' refers to NUTS 2 for milk production (farms), the NUTS reference being the version applicable on the date of data transmission.

2.5. Statistical unit | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dairy enterprises -- undertakings of two types: • Collection centres collect milk or cream and transfer it in whole or in part to other enterprises without any processing. They are often defined as referred to in Article 2(2) of Council Directive 96/16/EC. • Dairies and agricultural holdings purchase milk or milk products from agricultural holdings or collection centres with a view to transforming them into milk products. They are often defined as referred to in Article 2(1) of Council Directive 96/16/EC. Some enterprises process milk products obtained from a dairy as defined above, e.g. skimmed milk into milk powder or yogurt, and may appear to be excluded from the definition of dairy enterprises. Nevertheless, non-packed intermediate products are considered as raw products and such dairies are therefore covered as statistical units for the purpose of some statistics, whatever the enterprise supplying them.
Agricultural holdings are the statistical units for milk production and its use on farm within the meaning of Article 2(a) of Regulation (EC) N°1166/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.6. Statistical population | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The statistical population is the framework of the statistical units in the reference Member State or country for the reference period. All agricultural holdings producing milk and all dairies in the Member State. Nevertheless, data collection may be organized in a different way by a respondent other than the statistical unit. For instance, milk delivered by farms to dairies (table C) is accounted for by both units, and can be obtained more easily from dairies, of which there are fewer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.7. Reference area | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The entire territory of the country. The reference area is the territory of the Member States as defined by Decision 91/450/EEC1 For non-EU countries, territory follows the definition agreed bi-laterally with Eurostat. 1 Commission Decision of 26 July 1991 defining the territory of Member States for the purposes of implementing Article 1 of Council Directive 89/130/EEC, Euratom on the harmonization of the compilation of gross national product at market prices. OJ L 240, 29.8.1991, pp. 36-40. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2.8. Coverage - Time | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Data are presented in chronological series for each country and for the EU. The period covered varies according to the country, depending on the date of accession to the EU. They are available at least for the EU Member States, depending on the date they became members of the EEC or EU, from legislation to repeal of the legal text and insofar as Member States comply with legislation. Milk statistics are available, at least partly, since reference years 1960 for the countries that were Member States at this time. Further time periods may be available if collected on a volunteer basis, especially, data collected under a gentlemen’s agreement, data collected for accessing and acceding countries, and data collected under other specific agreements. |

4.1. Quality assurance | |||
Statistics Denmark follows the principles in the Code of Practice for European Statistics (CoP) and uses the Quality Assurance Framework of the European Statistical System (QAF) for the implementation of the principles. This involves continuous decentralized and central control of products and processes based on documentation following international standards. The central quality assurance function reports to the Working Group on Quality. Reports include suggestions for improvement that are assessed, decided and subsequently implemented. |
|||
4.2. Quality management - assessment | |||
The calculation of the amount of milk weighed on dairies is of high quality as it is compulsory for dairies to register this and report it to the central livestock register, as owner of the Ministry of Environment and Food. The information is also the basis for the settlement to the milk supplier (farmer). |
|
|||
5.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
The statistics is of great interest to agricultural organizations, the Ministry of Environment and Food and the EU. The figures is used intern in Statistics Denmark to estimate quantity and price index, and the Account for Agriculture, which is included in the National Accounts. Data on milk and dairy product are delivered every month to Euro stat. |
|||

8.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Information not collected in line with the Decision 97/80/EC (ANNEX III) |
|||
8.2. Comparability - over time | |||
The statistics on dairy product have a long history and the key figures covering the past 100 years are comparable. During the late 1920s, the statistics were improved and since the Second World War, statistics achieving complete coverage have been compiled. Long time series data can be compiled. From 1 January 2020, the consumption of milk for human consumption at the farm is 3.024 million. kg and consumption for feed for the young cattle is 75 million. kg. milk. From 1 January 2015, the consumption of milk for human consumption at the farm is 3.87 million. kg and consumption for feed for the young cattle is 75 million. kg. milk. From 1 January 2012, the consumption of milk for human consumption at the farm was 4.32 million. kg and consumption for feed for the young cattle was 75 million. kg. milk. As compensation for the declining milk price (incorporated in the EU agricultural reform), a total milk prize of DKK 389,1 million was paid out in 2004. In 2005, the milk prize premium ceased to exist and was replaced by an extra charge, which is included in the farmers subsidies according to the new single-farm payment scheme.

|||
8.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
The statistics cover the period from 1990 onwards. However, statistics can be found from the beginning of the 20th century, where it has been possible to compare time series. Older data can be found on [Landbrug 1999-2011]([https://www.dst.dk/da/Statistik/Publikationer/VisPub?cid=16604), [Landbrugssgtatistik 1998-1959](https://www.dst.dk/da/Statistik/Publikationer/VisPub?cid=19733) and [Landbrugsstatistik 1900-1965](https://www.dst.dk/da/Statistik/Publikationer/VisPub?cid=19920). |
|||
8.4. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | |||
The months data are the basis for the yearly data. |
|||
