Overview
- Prices for butter, milk, cream and yogurts drop by roughly 7–25 percent in what retailers call the fourth reduction since early September.
- Lidl’s cuts take effect 17 November across nearly 40 dairy items after Aldi lowered more than 15 lines earlier in the week.
- Entry prices now include 250 g butter at €1.29 and fresh whole milk at €0.95 per liter at Aldi and Lidl, with smaller differences on condensed milk.
- Edeka, Netto and Kaufland say they will adjust private‑label dairy in the same scope nationwide, extending the cuts beyond discounters.
- The German Farmers’ Association warns the price war risks squeezing producers, while Lidl pairs promotions with a temporary potato plan that pays growers €0.20 per 3‑kg sack.
