Market Update
- August 27, 2021
Chinese milk prices continue to rally recently and continue historically high relative to whole milk powder prices, especially after recent WMP declines. While milk prices would typically be expected to mean more local milk production, they have really only kept up with local feed prices, meaning margins for milk producers remain lower than historical. This should mean the ongoing need for WMP and other imports into the first half of 2022.
