    Milk production across the EU-28 has been rising steadily for the past four months and is now approaching levels seen last year. Desptie reports of colder weather across much of the EU more recently, it is likely that the gap will be closed at some point in the next couple of months assuming farmgate prices do not drop significantly.

  • Will New Zealand storms halt recovery in milk production?19 April 2017
    After being hit by two severe storms, milk production in New Zealand (NZ) will undoubtedly be impacted, at least in the short term. With grazing restricted, and farmers having to deal with higher feeding costs, production is expected to drop in the short term.
  • UK consumer spending now under pressure 19 April 2017

  • Retail dairy markets see rise in value19 April 2017

  • Markets should level out but bumps along the way19 April 2017
    Global dairy markets are expected to stay relatively level overall until at least mid-2017, but there is likely to be short-term volatility along the way, according to Rabobank. This is due to large SMP stocks, uncertain production volumes and currency fluctuations causing hesitation in the market.
  • Increases seen in average GDT prices, market positivity seen in contract prices?19 April 2017

  • Intervention in use as SMP prices fall13 April 2017
    SMP has been offered into intervention for the first time this year, with 1,201 tonnes put forward to date. The latest weekly average EU SMP price is still €92/tonne above intervention level but, with production rising towards its seasonal peak, some sellers have clearly seen intervention as their better option.
