The authors used tabular and descriptive methods to present the changes in the supply chains. We have measured three stages of supply chain of milk: production, wholesale supply and consumption in the years 2013-2017. The survey proved that the biggest wholesale supply of cow's milk in the EU in 2017 was in Germany (31 939 thousand tons), France (24 539), the Netherlands (14 297) and the United Kingdom (15 134).
