The global dairy market is experiencing a supply-demand imbalance, leading to a significant increase in prices. At the GDT World Dairy Auction in March, prices reached their highest since March 2014. This trend is affecting import prices and leading to price hikes in domestic dairy products. Factors contributing to the global price increase include decreasing crude oil supply, climate abnormalities, and steady demand in Southeast Asian and African countries. Factors such as China's lockdown and the ongoing Ukraine-Russian war are also expected to further impact the dairy market. Domestic dairy companies are already raising prices, with more increases likely as global prices rise.
