The IFCN World Milk Price Indicator, which is the result of combining Oceanian export prices for the five main dairy commodities, rose by a substantial growth this month. This increase is driven largely by an upturn in cheese prices and consistently high prices for butter, influenced by seasonal demand as we approach the holiday season.
Cheese showed stable growth, while WMP saw a moderate increase, with demand primarily coming from South-East Asia. Since December 2022, cheese has not experienced such an outstanding growth rate. SMP remains stable, showing minimal price movement.
