Dairy prices defy ample supply as market momentum builds
Global dairy prices continue to rise despite ample supply from key milk producing countries including New Zealand.
Last night’s auction saw the GDT Price Index drop 5.1%, compared to the previous auction.
However, the biggest concern will be the massive drop in whole milk powder prices: down 6.7% to US$3099/MT.
