Why?
Valio dominates domestic dairy and large-scale output, while blended variants help pull the median down.
Fragmented sourcing, strong import brands and many SKUs support higher premium pricing in Germany.
The Finnish origin advantage disappears in organic and specialty butter, where markets converge.
