1. Dairy scenario in 2015
Oceania milk production would increase by around 5% in 2015 ( Jan-Dec) compared
to 2014 on the back of increase in cow heads amid expected optimum weather
condition
Global milk production would be high as cattle population likely to increase as lower
feed price amid optimum weather condition
Higher production of milk would boost higher processing volume across the global and
SMP production volume would increase by 4.9%. At the same FTA between China
and Australia would boost higher processing of WMP/SMP and cheese.
By assuming deficit monsoon in 2015/16 amid incremental growth in cattle population
would support increase in milk volume by 3.2% and estimated liquid milk production
volume would be around 144 million mt.
By considering historical conversion volume of liquid intomilk powder, it is estimated
that domestic SMP production would be around 540 th mt, higher by 7.5% compared
to 2014
Global higher supply of SMP would keep a tough competition between SMP Oceania,
SMP EU and SMP India.
Strong supply amid tough competition would keep price of SMP under pressure in
2015. Export demand for SMP would be lower whereas domestic consumption would
steady growth in 2015
