Why is the price of butter so high? Butter is made from milk fat and cream and therefore its production requires a lot of milk, the global supply of which has declined, partly due to the diseases that have affected dairy cow herds in Europe, and partly due to the high cost of feed. Then there is the issue of climate change highlighted last summer by the analysis 'The EU dairy sector: main features, challenges and prospects' conducted by the European Parliament's study centre. According to the research, 13% of dairy cow herds could disappear in the next decade. The reasons for this are heat stress, which has negative effects on milk production and milk fat content, as well as on the production performance of cows, especially grazing cows. Extreme weather conditions also facilitate the outbreak of diseases. Under Auchan butter in Russia.

Source. In Amazon is the leading Italian distributor by purchasing centre? it is perfectly understandable why Conad is a purchasing centre(and why the 'diatribe' with Selex over market share makes no sense).
The much higher figure of the private label in 2024 compared to the Conad report of 2019 is surely due to a share of products not purchased through the Bologna central but directly from members.
