Retail Intelligence Report: Butter/Margarine Q2 2025

Industry News: According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the global dairy price index averaged 152.14 points in Apr-25, reflecting a 2.35% month-on-month (MoM) increase and a significant 22.92% year-on-year (YoY) rise. In particular, butter prices saw a third consecutive monthly increase, rising by 2.86% MoM and surging 27.30% YoY to 218.01 points. This sharp growth was primarily fueled by higher prices in Europe due to tight inventories and robust demand for milkfat, despite seasonally elevated milk production. The trend is consistent with the May 6 results of the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction, a fortnightly held event, where the overall price index rose by 4.6% the April 15 results. Butter prices increased by 3.8%, reaching USD 7,992 per metric ton (mt).
