Journal, magazine, bulletinBulletinDairy market review - Price and policy update, July 2021 2021
Also available in:
No results found.International dairy prices, measured by the FAO Dairy Price Index, fell slightly in June, ending 12-month of uninterrupted increases. At 119.9 points in June, the global dairy price index stood at 22 percent above its level one year ago. International quotations for all dairy products represented in the index fell in June, with butter registering the highest decline, underpinned by a faster decline in global import demand and a slight increase in inventories, especially in Europe. Whole milk powder prices declined on reduced purchases by China and lower demand for spot supplies, while global export availabilities remained adequate to meet existing orders. Quotations for cheese and skim milk powder weakened slightly also on reduced global import demand amid somewhat higher export supplies from major producing regions. -
Journal, magazine, bulletinHigh-profileDairy Market Review: Price and policy update. December 2019 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO Dairy Price Index recorded 192 points in October, an increase of 9.8 points (5.4 percent) since January, but 83.4 points (30.3 percent) below its peak reached in February 2014. From January to May, the index value rose by 24 percent, but from June to October, the value dropped by 15 percent. Dairy price increases in the first three months in 2019 primarily stemmed from limited export supplies along with strong internal demand in Europe and seasonally tight export availabilities from Oceania. From April to May, international demand for dairy products remained robust, while export supplies were relatively limited due to drought in Oceania, especially Australia, but also dry weather in Europe during the summer. Since June, dairy prices weakened, reflecting a market optimism over possible increases in export supplies from Oceania, mainly New Zealand, in its 2019/20 production season. Milk production in the North and South America was stable, providing stability to international prices. In Europe, prices weakness stemmed from relative inactivity of dairy markets due to summer holidays. Increased export availability further added to price weakness towards September and October. -

Also available in:
No results found.World milk output reached 811 million tonnes in 2017, 1.4 percent higher than in 2016. Across geographic regions, milk output expanded in Asia, the Americas and Europe; stagnated in Africa; and declined in Oceania. World dairy exports in 2017 reached 71.6 million tonnes, 1.3 percent higher than in 2016. Milk exports from Africa, Central America, Europe and North America increased, but those from Asia, Oceania and South America declined. A key factor that influenced this expansion was the continued rise in import demand from China, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Mexico and Australia that counterbalanced import contractions from elsewhere, especially Egypt, Brazil, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Increased supplies from the EU, Mexico, Canada and the United States were adequate to cover export shortfalls from some leading exporters, including New Zealand, Argentina, Australia, Belarus, and Uruguay. The average dairy export price in 2017 was up 31 percent from 2016. In the first half of the year, prices remained stable as ample export supplies from the Northern Hemisphere were sufficient to meet import demand. But from May to September 2017 dairy prices strengthened, driven by strong import demand, especially from Asia, reflecting tighter exportable supplies from Oceania, South America and Europe. From September onwards, dairy prices started to weaken as export supplies increased from almost all major producing countries.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
