# Dairy Quarterly Q4 2019: Farmers Welcome Higher Prices – Will Consumers? - Dairy Industries International

> RaboResearch's Q4 2019 Dairy Quarterly says milk and dairy prices are rising, but whether consumers will accept higher retail prices is uncertain given weak global economies. It expects EU milk output to grow modestly in 2020 and Chinese import demand to keep rising, though weaker in the first half. Whey prices are improving but remain limited by lower demand for pig feed in China.

## Why it matters
