TINE Gruppa is returning NOK 1.7 billion (approximately USD $157 million) to its milk producers across Norway, fueled by a strong financial performance in 2025. This payout underscores the strength of the Norwegian dairy sector and its importance to the national economy.
All farmers who supplied milk to TINE in 2025 will receive a retroactive payment of NOK 1.20 per liter delivered.
For an average milk producer who delivered 234 tonnes of milk throughout the year, this translates to a retroactive payment of NOK 281,000 (approximately USD $26,000).

TINE’s international operations delivered a weaker operating result and margin, mainly due to higher Irish milk prices, increased investments in Jarlsberg brand building, and currency effects.
Sales revenues in TINE International reached NOK 4.9 billion (approximately USD $452 million), a 4.5 percent increase adjusted for currency fluctuations.
Growth is driven particularly by strong development in the Nordics, where TINE’s brands are strengthening their position, as well as price adjustments in the market.

Board Chairman Rolf Øyvind Thune believes that both the result and the repayment reflect the value of milk producers owning a brand company with multiple commercial pillars.
“TINE is built to last, and our core values are our brands.

When the authorities are clear about the need for robust food systems and high self-sufficiency, TINE’s results contribute to this in practice,” said Board Chairman Rolf Øyvind Thune in the press release.
