Global Dairy Price index dropped by 2.8% in today’s Global Dairy trade event. The index has reached to a level of USD 3497/MT. This is a second consecutive drop in the index since last month. One of the major reason behind this drop is the sluggish global demand .
From Indian market perspective it is not a good news. The index of SMP as well as Butter which are lying in huge stocks in the country have dropped down by 4.8% and 1.4% respectively. Indian dairy exporters were facing the challenge of cheaper SMP from countries like Belarus in neighbouring countries but with this drop their hopes have diminished further. The new global prices of AMF(ghee), Butter and SMP in Indian Rupees have become Rs 557, Rs 525 and Rs 206 respectively.
While Ghee and Butter are still at good price but SMP price may disheartened Indian SMP producers having huge stocks.
