AMS_1039 MARS 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.
