Global dairy commodity prices are rising despite record milk production across key exporting regions, according to Maxum Foods' March 2026 Global Dairy Commodity Update.
Milk solids output in the EU, US and New Zealand reached an all-time high in 2025, adding almost as much additional supply as the previous four years combined. Production growth has continued into early 2026, yet commodity prices are recovering from recent lows.
The market rally is currently being driven by short-term demand and uncertainty rather than tight supply, raising questions about whether prices could soften as the Northern Hemisphere approaches its seasonal spring flush.
