As far as rainfall is concerned, it is uniformly distributed across the year, whereas the soil is quite fertile. As a result, there has been an increase in dairy cattle for milk, butter, and cheese. This has become a natural part of the Danish diet form a long time. Not only this, Danish dairy products are globally accepted and exported.

The Danish dairy industry consists of the international dairy group named as “Arla Foods“and near about 30 smaller dairy companies, altogether process around 4.7 billion kg milk from a sum of 61 production plants in Denmark.

The small dairies usually specialize in a variety of product areas including butter, cheese, and liquid milk production. A huge part of their production is exported by specialized exporters.

Almost, 1.8 billion EUR are earned by Danish dairy exports annually. The domestic dairy market is also very good to a large extent. Even though, imported yoghurt and cheese presently account for approx. 25 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of total domestic consumption. Whereas, the market share of foreign milk remains restrained.

With the growing time; the Danish milk producers have seen remarkable structural change, with increased production, which is now taking place on a small number of large farms. Fact shows that; in year 2010, approx. 4,100 dairy farmers, each one had an average of 127 cows whereas, the milk production quota reached too 1,142 tones. Therefore, Danish dairy farmers come among the largest and most modern in the world.
