Following the pattern seen across dairy in Belgium, butter prices rose sharply in 2022, resulting in a sales decline in retail volume terms. Despite prices slowly stabilising in 2023, volume sales of butter have continued to decline, albeit at a slightly more modest pace. This decline is due to two major factors. Firstly is the competition from edible oils and secondly are the negative health perceptions around consuming butter, especially on a regular basis.
