Abstract

Most french dairy farm are still exposed to volatile milk price despite the implementation of milk package that aim to enforce contractualization and stabilize price. In this context, our study aims to investigate the effect of asymmetric price volatility on french dairy farms' profitability which is necessary to enhance resilience. We use APARCH to measure the volatility of aggregate milk prices represented by the Production Price Index for Agricultural Products. We focused our analysis on 385 dairy farms observed from 2010 to 2022 in the French Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). The evolution of farm profitability, indicated by the return on assets, was assessed by using machine learning algorithms. Findings show that there are differentiated effects of milk price volatility on farm profitability.
