Fast-rising milk prices may restore margins for some producers, but cost pressures won’t ease quickly. Cow numbers in the US won’t steady and start to rise again until the 2nd half of the year, but herd reductions in the EU will likely persist in all cases other than Ireland.
Demand of dairy products has been supported by resilient domestic retail markets, while export activity, although disrupted due to logistical issues, has been close to pre-COVID levels.
The spread of COVID infections remains a major challenge for the entire supply chain – reducing farm labour access, disruptions to factory operations and supply chains and limiting the ability to keep food service venues staffed. Consumers will continue to shun dining out in many regions, prolonging the uncertainty for the food service trade.
Weather will continue to play an important role as La Nina slowly recedes but leaving lingering dry conditions in NZ and South America.
