  • Milking herd shrinks, and further falls expected28 August 2019
    As at 1 July, the GB milking herd totalled 1.73 million head, 2.7% less than the same point last year. With a large drop in cows aged between 2-4 years and a smaller pool of replacement youngstock, we expect the milking herd is only going to shrink further.
  • June sees drop off in dairy trade22 August 2019
    In June, dairy imports fell across the board with a year on year decrease of 40% for butter, 13% for Cheddar and 9% for speciality cheeses.
  • Global dairy consumption growth to continue21 August 2019
    Over the next decade, global consumption of fresh and processed dairy products is expected to increase by 2.1% and 1.5% a year respectively. Rising consumption in developing countries is expected to drive most of this growth.
  • Brexit – a no deal dairy summary20 August 2019
    The UK is a net importer or dairy products, including being a net importer of both dairy fat and protein. However, considerable volumes of dairy products are both imported and exported to the EU. Under a no deal situation, proposed UK tariffs mean there will be significant differences in the tariffs for imports to the UK, and for exports into the EU. These differences will bring a number of challenges for the industry.
  • China's thirst for dairy grows15 August 2019
    Consumption of dairy products in China is expected to increase 2.5% this year to 33.7 million tonnes, according to USDA forecasts.
  • How close is India to becoming a key dairy exporter?14 August 2019
    Indian dairy exports this year (January-April) are double the same period last year. However on global terms, export volumes are comparatively small. While milk production is expected to climb considerably over the next decade, growing domestic demand and a lack of chill chain facilities are likely to limit the nation's potential on global dairy markets.
  • Indonesia proposes to increase tariffs on EU dairy products14 August 2019
    The Indonesian government have announced proposals to increase import tariffs on EU dairy products, to up to 25%. Indonesia is the fourth largest export market for EU dairy products. If the tariffs are raised, EU dairy exports will likely struggle to remain competitive on the Indonesian market.
  • EU dairy product availability developments 14 August 2019
    Raw milk supplies in the EU have seen limited growth so far in 2019. The total volume of milk deliveries in the 12-months to May 2019 was 0.2% higher, and 0.5% higher in terms of solids. The impact on availability of dairy products however has varied.
  • India: the world's largest milk-producing nation 8 August 2019
    India is the world largest producing milk-producing nation. This year alone, they are expected to produce twice the volume of the US. The industry is highly fragmented with over 70 million producers and 134 million cows.
  • Drop in GB dairy calvings8 August 2019
    GB dairy registration data from British Cattle Movement Society (BCMS) is now available. According to the latest data, dairy calvings for January-June 19 saw a slight fall of 0.1% from the same period last year. Total numbers for the six months were at 661k, supported by a strong March birth figure. Rises seen in Q1 this year were negated by the drop in the Q2 calf registrations.
