# Slower milk production growth in key exporting countries could support global prices

> Milk output growth slowed in the EU and UK and in New Zealand in September, while US production rose 2.6% year on year. Analysts say slower growth among major exporters could support global dairy prices in 2027 if demand remains stable; hot, dry weather and weaker profitability contributed to slower output in Europe, with El Niño a risk for New Zealand.

## Why it matters

Slower supply growth in major exporting regions could tighten global dairy availability and support prices, although continued US expansion and demand uncertainty may offset that effect.
