USDA’s August Supply and Demand report is projecting more dairy cows, more milk production, and more cheese and butter exports.
USDA increased its expected milk production forecasts for this year and next year based on cow inventories in the most recent Milk Production report. Output per cow is also expected to go up for this year and next year.
Fat basis imports for 2025 are reduced from last month, mainly on butterfat products. Skim-solids basis imports for 2025 are raised on higher milk protein concentrates. For 2026, imports are raised on skim-solids basis reflecting higher imports of milk protein concentrates but are unchanged on a fat basis.
