IFCN DAIRY FORUM 2024
Navigating milk shortages:
Sustainable production for a global demand
About the forum
Online public event
Building on the IFCN Supporter Conference “Where will the future milk be produced & how to produce it in a sustainable way?”, we would like to open the topic to the public and extend the discussion to “Navigating Milk Shortages – sustainable production for a global demand” as the global dairy industry is at a pivotal moment. With rising demand and increasing pressures on production, we are facing the real possibility of milk shortages soon. Economic, social, and environmental factors are complicating efforts to stabilize raw milk supply, creating significant challenges for industry.

IFCN DAIRY FORUM 2024
Why is the topic important?
MILK PRICE
The IFCN World Milk Price Indicator decreased by -25% in 2023 vs 2022
MILK PRODUCTION
Better global milk production growth than in 2022, but still below the average
MILK DEMAND
Recovery in the global demand mainly driver by per capita consumption
Addressing dairy self-sufficiency in developing regions is crucial as global demand for dairy products rises, yet main producers struggle to increase production. This decline is compounded by economic, social, and environmental challenges that hinder securing a stable raw milk supply. With per capita demand surging in deficit countries, investments in dairy sustainability are essential to enhance productivity and efficiency. By developing additional regions sustainably, we can meet growing demands while minimizing environmental impacts, ensuring a resilient dairy sector for the future.
