Abstract

The article discusses the decline in prices for butter, milk, and cheese due to a significant increase in global milk production, leading to an oversupply in the market. Rabobank's senior agricultural analyst noted that strong growth in milksolids and production from major exporters, including New Zealand, the EU, UK, US, and South America, has contributed to this situation. As a result, butter prices have dropped 9% since early October, while whole milk powder and cheese have decreased by about 7%. Despite the current price slump, Fonterra Cooperative Group plans to increase butter production to meet anticipated global demand for natural foods. [Extracted from the article]
