Weekly Update on Dairy Prices

This week, we have observed some significant fluctuations in dairy prices. Several factors are contributing to these changes, including shifts in supply and demand, weather conditions affecting dairy farms, and changes in feed costs.

Key Impacts on the Market

1. Supply Chain Disruptions: Ongoing supply chain issues have led to delays in the delivery of dairy products, causing temporary shortages in some areas. This has resulted in a slight increase in prices.
2. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions in key dairy-producing regions have impacted milk production, further contributing to the price volatility.
3. Feed Costs: The rising cost of animal feed has increased production costs for dairy farmers, who are passing these costs on to consumers.

Expected Prices for the Next Four Months

• November: We expect prices to remain relatively high due to continued supply chain issues and weather-related production challenges.
• December: Prices may stabilize slightly as supply chains start to recover, but they will likely remain above average.
• January: With the potential for improved weather conditions, we anticipate a modest decrease in prices, though they will still be influenced by feed costs.
• February: Prices are expected to stabilize further, with a slight downward trend as production levels return to normal and supply chains fully recover.

We will continue to monitor these factors closely and provide updates as new information becomes available.
