AHDB Dairy reports that wholesale dairy prices in the UK rose sharply in the second half of May, with butter hitting £4,300/t, its highest average since records began in 2000, and bulk cream up 13.3 percent on the month. The increases reflected a smaller-than-forecast European flush, low stocks and a weaker pound.
Tight European supply and low stocks push wholesale dairy values higher, supporting farmgate milk price increases and global dairy prices.
