Mission & Interests
Goals: Eucolait is the association representing the interests of the European dairy trade. It was founded in 1959 and has members in 16 European Member States as well as associate members outside the EU. More than 400 companies active in intra-EU and international dairy trade are either direct or indirect members of Eucolait.
Eucolait provides information on agricultural food, and trade policy issues affecting the activities of its members as well as about market developments. We defend the interests of the dairy trading community with the purpose to ensure that trade in dairy products can take place without undue obstacles and to maximise business opportunities for our members.
EUCOLAIT is also a platform for discussion and meetings for European and international dairy trade companies. Our meetings offer high quality dairy related information and facilitate the development of closer professional links between companies.
