What is the dynamic of the Dairy Industry in Romania? The landscape of the dairy industry in Romania highlights an interesting mix of local and international players. Last year, Romania’s milk industry registered growth, with the top ten processors purchasing a total of 476 million kilograms of milk.

The increase in quantity also comes with higher production. In the first two months of 2024, compared to the same period last year, factories produced 18% more cheese – over 17,000 tons, but also more cream, over 11,000 tons, and drinking milk 63,000 tons.

According to the FRD Center analysis, there are considerable opportunities in the Food Processing Industry in Emerging Europe.

The players continue to invest in the Romanian dairy market. One such example is Lactalis Group who have invested over 60 million euros in the last 5 years in Romania, and for the current year announced investments of over 13 million euros.
