Whole Milk Powder - Oceania

Released on July 17, 2025

Oceania whole milk powder (WMP) prices rebounded from their decline during the 
prior reporting period, with the price range increasing at both ends during the 
current period. Production is light due to limited milk production during the 
winter months, but inventories are available. Domestic demand is light and 
domestic prices fell over the reporting period. Export demand remains strong, 
driven primarily by decreased milk production and lower WMP inventories in 
China. The North Asia region (which includes China) purchased 47 percent of the 
WMP offered at GDT event 384, a substantial increase over the same time last 
year when North Asia purchased 33 percent of available WMP. The GDT price index 
for WMP increased by 1.7 percent owing to increased prices across the August 
and October-December contracts. The overall quantity of WMP sold at GDT event 
384 was about the same as the prior event and greater than the same time a year 
ago.
