UHT milk remains a German favourite

Despite volatile retail price fluctuations for drinking milk in Germany last year – with an average 10% rise towards the end of the year – sales have remained stable.

Consumption of bottled and cartooned milk was put at just over five million tonnes by the central agency for market and price information, ZMP – remaining at roughly the same level for the last four years. Also stable is the 70% proportion of UHT drinking milk included in the total sales.
