Butter/Butteroil - Oceania
Report 45 - Released on November 05, 2020
In Oceania the butter price range strengthened, continuing a recent trend. This was a
positive note in contrast with many dairy powders notching lower prices. Oceania prices came
closer to butter prices for Western European butter, remaining slightly lower. There are
reports of some buyers feeling the need to acquire stocks in the short term, resulting in
more spot market buying activity. Butter is currently not the most profitable dairy product,
but it remains profitable and production will remain active for current sales and to stock
for future months to meet contract obligations.
