There are a variety of marketing methods available, including cooperative or private dairies, direct sales with or without a processing plant.
Processing milk into yoghurts, ice creams and cheeses offers attractive income prospects, but requires additional capital, a potentially very high volume of work and specific skills (particularly technical and commercial).
Many breeds of cow are used for milk production: Prim'Holstein, Normande, Montbéliarde, Brune, Abondance, Jersiaise, Tarentaise, Pie rouge des plaines, etc.
Dairy production areas are located mainly in the west of France (Brittany (Morbihan, Côtes d'Armor, Finistère, Ile-et-Vilaine), Normandy (Manche, Calvados, Orne) and Pays de Loire (Maine et Loire, Vendée, Loire Atlantique, Mayenne, Sarthe), in the Hauts de France region and in Grand Est of France. These are regions where the climate is favourable to the growth of grassland, the basis of dairy cow feed.
These differences generate significant variations in the selling prices of farms in France. You'll find dairy farms for sale from €300,000 up to several million euros.
