# Milk production will increase considerably - Consumption will increase with it | Boerenbusiness. Nl

> FAO and OECD agricultural outlooks forecast global milk production to rise by 178 million tonnes, or 22%, over the next decade compared with 2014-2016. Most of the growth is expected in developing countries, led by Pakistan and India, while Western consumption favours butter and milk fat. Consumption is forecast to rise alongside production.

## Why it matters

A long-run production increase should add supply to world dairy markets and cap prices over time, although rising consumption in developing countries offsets some of the pressure. The effect is gradual rather than immediate.
