With an annual turnover of over 26 billion euros, the German dairy sector plays an important role in the agri-food sector, but low milk prices put many producers under financial pressure.

The brief finds that the Strategy 2030 lacks concrete and binding measures as well as a real call for action. Further adjustments and better monitoring of the defined targets are required.
