Croatian family farm milk output falls 4.5%, fresh milk sales slump

Croatian family farms reported a 4.5% decline in milk production, with household fresh milk consumption down 38% to 12,100 tons and direct sales down 36% to 9,600 tons. The data suggests a structural shift in dairy demand or distribution, though the underlying causes (price, competition, or consumption habits) are not specified. This matters for regional agricultural economics and dairy market participants.
