Global Dairy Market: Milk Surpluses Put Pressure on Prices

Nearly all dairy regions experienced an atypical increase in milk yields, which led to a rise in global milk production volumes. According to calculations by Daily Dairy Report analyst Betty Berning, this year, the global market saw an estimated 1.68 million tonnes of surplus raw milk, which is enough to produce an extra 168 thousand tonnes of cheese or 68–91 thousand tonnes of butter. Despite increased demand for dairy products in developing countries, this year's milk yield volumes in key dairy regions exceed the export markets' capacity to absorb them. Surplus milk and commodity stocks are putting pressure on procurement prices. Raw milk production growth is expected to continue until the end of 2025, pending measures to correct the situation in producing countries.
