Whole Milk Powder - Oceania

Released on July 03, 2025

Oceania whole milk powder (WMP) prices fell during the reporting period, with 
price drops at both the low and high ends of the price range. In line with 
seasonal trends, milk production is light, leading to lighter WMP production. 
Domestic prices were on par with the high end of the export price range, though 
domestic demand weakened slightly during the reporting period. Export demand 
also weakened during the reporting period.

At Global Dairy Trade (GDT) event 383, the price indices for all contract 
periods decreased relative to the price indices at the prior event. Price 
indices were down 0.7 percent for the August contract, 5.1 percent for the 
September contract, 6.1 percent for the October contract, 5.9 percent for the 
November contract, and 4.6 percent for the December contract. No loads were 
traded for the January 2026 contract.

the volume sold at event 382 and slightly greater than the volume sold at event 
359, held one year ago. The top buyer of WMP at event 383 was North Asia, with
