Fourth consecutive decline driven by abundant supply and tepid demand as Chinese buying surges 30%.
The Global Dairy Trade price index recorded its fourth decline in two months, falling 1.6% in the first October auction as abundant product supply confronts tepid global demand conditions. Mozzarella experienced the most dramatic collapse, plummeting 11.8% in a single auction and extending a devastating four-month price slide of 30% from US$4,900 per tonne to just $3,393 currently. Butter also continued retreating from record highs near $8,000 per tonne achieved in May, declining 3% to reach $6,712, while whole milk powder and skim milk powder dropped 2.3% and 0.5% respectively, partially offset by modest gains in anhydrous milk fat (up 1.2%) and cheddar (up 0.8%).
