Although global dairy exports account for only a fraction of total milk production,
they are a key factor influencing dairy markets worldwide.
Prices are driven by the balance between supply and demand, which in turn are affected by climatic and environmental conditions, geopolitical dynamics, and economic and financial factors.
On this page, you can monitor the balance between Production and Exports
across the main dairy-exporting Countries.
You can also compare the relative weight of different geographic regions in terms of milk production on a monthly basis (local sources) and on an annual basis (FAO), and monthly exports data (source: IHS).
