Dairy farmers in Tamil Nadu, India, are threatening to withhold their milk supply if their demands for a price increase are not met by the state government. They argue that they are receiving better prices from the private sector. Meanwhile, in the UK, consumers are cutting costs by opting for cheaper milk brands as inflation affects purchasing power. There has been a notable shift towards private-label dairy products, with sales of branded milk seeing a significant decline. Despite this, cheese sales have remained stable with a notable increase in feta sales.

Overall, dairy product exports in January rose by 16% in volume and 21% in value.
