The report forecasts a slight increase in global butter production to 5.6 million tons, despite a decrease in the European Union's production by 0.8% due to domestic demand. New Zealand's production and export levels are expected to remain stable. The US is set to increase butter exports, with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain as the primary recipients, benefiting from higher world market prices. The EU is experiencing a growth in imports due to decreased production, with China emerging as a significant market. Since 2012, butter exports have seen a consistent increase, with Ireland, the Netherlands, and New Zealand being the leading exporters. The UK has shown the most significant growth in both volume and monetary terms among the exporting countries.
