Situation & Outlook
Dairy Australia's Situation and Outlook report provides expert analysis and unbiased insights on the latest domestic and international dairy market trends.
The latest Dairy Australia Situation and Outlook report indicates that there is a mixed outlook on the horizon this season for Australia’s dairy industry.
Strong local retail demand and a higher farmgate milk price are helping to support farmers, but global price shifts, unpredictable weather, and rising input costs continue to put pressure on profitability. Milk production is expected to ease by about 2%, as export markets adjust after earlier price highs and farm margins remain tight. While domestic sales across major categories are holding up well, challenging conditions and persistent cost pressures mean the production outlook for the rest of the season is cautious.
