Milk Supply and Dairy Production Netherlands

Introduction:
Welcome to the Netherlands Milk Supply and Dairy Production Dataset! This comprehensive dataset provides valuable insights into the dairy industry in the Netherlands. It encompasses data on the volume of cows' milk delivered by dairy farmers, the production of various dairy products, and important nutritional components like fat and protein content. Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, or industry professional, this dataset offers a goldmine of information to explore and understand the dynamics of one of the key sectors in the Dutch economy.

Scope, Scale, and Value:
The dataset covers a vast scope, spanning multiple years and providing both monthly and yearly figures. The dataset's scale is impressive, with records from various dairy factories, amounting to approximately 96% of all raw cows' milk produced in the country. By analyzing this data, you can gain a comprehensive understanding of the Netherlands' dairy industry, including supply patterns, production trends, and the economic significance of dairy products.

Sample Fields:
YEAR: Year of record (e.g., 2021, 2022).
MONTH: Month of record (e.g., Jan, Feb, Mar).
VOLUME: The volume of cows' milk delivered in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 2000, 2100).
BUTTER: Amount of butter produced in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 300, 290).
FAT_CONTENT: Fat content of raw cows' milk as a percentage (e.g., 3.5, 3.7).
PROTEIN_CONTENT: Protein content in raw cows' milk as a percentage (e.g., 3.2, 3.1).
TOTAL_MILK_POWDER: Total milk powder (whole and skimmed) production in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 500, 550).
WHOLE_MILK_POWDER: Milk powder with 1.5 percent or more fat production in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 200, 180).
SKIMMED_MILK_POWDER: Milk powder with less than 1.5 percent fat production in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 150, 160).
CONCENTRATED_MILK: Thickened milk or concentrated milk production in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 50, 40).
CHEESE: Cheese made of cows' milk only production in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 400, 380).
WHEY_POWDER: Whey (in powdered or block form) production in 1000 kilograms (e.g., 50, 55).
Data Sources:
The data in this dataset is sourced from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), which gathers data from various dairy factories across the Netherlands. The agency provides both monthly and yearly statistics for dairy products. The monthly figures are based on around 98% of all cows' milk delivered to dairy factories, with a provisional adjustment made by the agency. These monthly figures are later revised when the yearly figures become available. The dataset does not include figures about fresh dairy products for consumption or acidified milk products, such as yogurts. Additional data about these products is available for the years 1995-1997.

Conclusion:
The Netherlands Milk Supply and Dairy Production Dataset offers a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for understanding the dairy industry's dynamics in the Netherlands. Whether you're an academic researcher, a policymaker looking to make data-driven decisions, or an industry professional seeking market insights, this dataset will provide you with valuable information to unlock various opportunities and drive growth in the dairy sector. Happy exploring!
